System Definition
Common Characteristics
Boundaries
Problems:
Why does the site, which can also be considered as a system, not work well now?
Because it's isolated.
The answer could also be found in the Interview Analysis.
Current Situation of Site
Challenge:
To improve the current (site) "system" by activating it, making it more open, integrating it with the surroundings and attracting more visitors.
Referring to the conclusion of Scenarios, to make an OPEN SYSTEM is the best solution.
Question:
How to organize an OPEN SYSTEM?
An open system should have 3 criteria:
Components, Components' Behavior and a complete circulation of Interconnectivity between Components.
Solutions could be found in the Proposal section.
Basic Concept
1 Clients
- People from neighborhood: students and inhabitants. - People from other places. - Possible stakeholder: Science Centre.
2 Opportunities / Problems / Challenges
- Opportunities: Not only neighborhood people can frequently reach here,
but also people from far can easily get access to the site because of the convenient traffic.
It's a fair chance to get lots of people meeting here.
- Problems: It's actually a beautiful place, but people seldom entre it.
- Challenges: To create a tempting place to attract our clients.
To make the place valuable.
3 Propose / Intervention
- Integrate 4 or more elements which would complement the idea and emphasize the concept:
1. Dynamic: Figure out a proper and special idea to make the site to be eye-catching.
Try to make dynamic features in design, which associated with people's behavior,
such as variable facade, flexible space and structure, etc.
2. Nature: Preserve the existing natural landscape as much as possible;
Maintain the site to be a beautiful green space at the first place.
3. Connection: Create a connection between Science Centre and BK City, either physically or virtually,
would become an extension of their function.
4. Transport: Keep the important position of the site in the traffic system, to assure it to be easily accessible.
