Experimentation
1. User - object interaction
In the Orange Lecture hall several seating arrangements were set up to see the response from people. The users were able to adapt to the experiment to suite their demands. The set ups varried from comfortable to obstructive seating layouts.
conclusions:
- Bigger effort made to have a comfortable seat.
- Diverse arangement of spaces, caters for larger user group.
- People sit closer to their point of interest.
- Person will adapt to given situation.
- People only change elements when necessary.
- Difficulties changing elements embarrass people.
Site
The site has diverse vegetation, a nice view of open space and surrounding buildings. However, the most disruptive influences are sound, and the very little activity.
The video of the site demonstrates its emptiness. By doing similar experimentation to that of the seating arrangement in the Orange lecture hall, more interaction will take place. This will cause the site to flourish with more activities.
Additional Information on Site Qualities
GPRS Mapping
From Kevin Lynch’s empirical research on how individuals perceive and navigate through a site has led to research done using GPRS tracking devices for site analysis.
A mesh between different GPRS points is overlaid. The images show 3 different meshes; intimate (red), open space (blue), paths and nodes (white). On the different meshes are overlaid over each other to see the effect of how different activities are linked and intertwined. To conclude, the overlapping parts of the mesh is hotspots for potential a variety of programmes without disrupting the original scheme.
Technical Design Challange
The concept of having a changeable environment automatically is inherent to using new technique's. For this concept a concrete wall wouldn't work. For the execution of this project a start was made with the exploration of possibilities. The different grids are an exploration of possible grid layouts that may be appropriate on the site.
