− | | + | |
− | | + | |
| ---- | | ---- |
− | | + | [[Atom11:landing|'''Continue''']] |
− | To magnify the [[Atom11:intimacy|'''intimacy''']] of the De Vries van Heytsplantsoen site.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ===Motivation===
| + | |
| ---- | | ---- |
− | Our first impression of the site is that it has moments or glimpses of spaces where intimacy is encouraged.
| |
− | The genesis of our research was to pinpoint the exact qualities that contribute to the phenomenon of intimacy discovered on the site. This question then blossomed into a cataloging of intimate affordances that create this intimacy.
| |
− |
| |
− | ===Research Question===
| |
− | ----
| |
− | These affordances - or qualities - of intimacy that contribute to the phenomenon were documented and organized to give an idea of how many different "actors" work together to produce a certain experience. The desired outcome of this research is to "tag" all affordances of intimacy and parametize them in a manner that facilitates the testing and experimentation of our hypotheses.

− | ===Client(s)===
| |
− | ----
| |
− |
| |
− | Due to the overarching theme of intimacy and its relation to the human condition, our client is the human race

| |

| |
− | A simple [[Atom11:research|'''survey''']] indicated that the park is used by very few people.
| |
− | This survey also indicated that most students prefer a park with nature and open green space.
| |
− | Students need a nearby space of '''refuge''' to '''escape''' to when overwhelmed.

− | ===Challenges===
| |
− | ----
| |
− |
| |
− | The survey conducted revealed some very interesting yet unsurprising results:
| |
− | # "Nature" and "open green space" were the two most popular qualities of an "ideal" park.
| |
− | # "Art" and "calm" were the next desires.
| |
− | # Students, as a whole, said they visit parks for "leisure and relaxation."
| |
− |
| |
− |
| |
− | Our '''interpretation''' of these results is:
| |
− | # The site is already natural, yet it also has adequate open green space. Therefore, the site, as it stands, is enough to satisfy a large number of students. Furthermore, the likelihood of this park being visited as opposed to the [much larger and more "natural"] Delftse Hout is small. This leads to our [[Atom11:21.09.11|Intervention Proposal]], which will answer results number two and three.

| |
− | ===Intervention(s)===
| |
− | ----
| |
− |
| |
− | If the park already meets the desires of students, how do we encourage them to use it?
| |
− | Currently, few people at all use the site. We are operating under the logical assumption that, in the future, more students will use the park.
| |
− | The question then becomes: "how do we maintain the [[Atom11:intimacy|'''intimacy''']] of the site while accommodating an increased user load?."
| |
− |
| |
− | The simple answer to that question is: [[Atom11:21.09.11|"we don't." ]]
