YAY! NOW I CAN PEE IN THE PARK!
Stage Iii Implementing Ideas
The final stage is an abstract representation of our ideas for a pop-up project in Kilburn Grange Park based on our findings in stage I and II.
It shows some examples of straightforward and simple solutions for the community’s actual challenges and needs as a statement criticising bureaucratic barriers. What happens if the project is realised?
This summary will assist us, designers, as a tool to introduce our initial ideas within the context of the Kilburn Grange Park community.
BARBEQUE SPACES ARE NOW AVALABLE IN THE PARK! MORE PICNICS!
TOILET!
WE CAN PREPARE OUR FOOD IN THE PARK!
WE CAN SOCIALIZE AND EAT TOGETHER!
BUILD A POP-UP
A MANUAL FOR THE COMMUNITY
SMALL SCALE COMMUNITY PROJECTS KILBURN GRANGE PARK LONDON
Who is the Manual for?
This manual is designed for members of the Kilburn community. The manual contains interventions devised from reasearch and testing phases carried out with the users of the Kilburn Grange Park.
The manual makes an attempt to provide a framework for members of this community to build the interventions and modify them as their needs change. The pop-ups are designed to be maintained and run by the Kilburn community.
The interventions are designed as pop-ups that will be present in the park for a duration of two weeks, on the conditions that the funding and planning permissions from the council are met in the timeframe provided in the timeline.
The pop-up can be seen as a testing phase for making these intereventions a more permanent feature in the Kilburn Grange Park
Please Note that at this stage, in accordance with Stages 4 & 5 of the ‘Plan of Work’ manual, the prototypes have to go through another round of community testing.
BUILD A POP-UP
1. BUILD A TOILET 1x Module [1200mm x 1200mm]
2. BUILD A BARBECUE 3x Module [1200mm x 1200mm]
3. BUILD A SEATING AREA 4x Module [1200mm x 1200mm]
Modular-Based Design
The design interventions presented in this manual modular design to make the project adaptable different functions as they change over time. Based on the findings in the first stages of this project Grange Park, the main intervention is a community-built will be presented later in this manual. Additionally, as an exploration for more possible pop-up Kilburn Grange Park, the following examples show can work if extended.
The 1xmodule: Example of the toilet well in outdoor spaces. The compost can be used in the park and the community garden as natural fertilizer. For the purpose of this intervention, the toilet stands for two weeks as a pop-up, but can be made a permanent xture in the park if the users respond well to the intervention.
Composting Toilet
The toilet barbecue seating area
The idea of the pop-up project is to empower people of the community to build the design interventions and modify them if their needs change. As a result, based upon the proposal, we came up with a modular-based design. The single module unit has been designed as a toilet, with the possibility of the units’ expansion to accommodate various functions. For example, the 3 and 4 module units can be proposed as a barbecue space and seating area.
In the pop-up manual we have covered the construction stages as well as maintenance and cleaning instructions, an almost complete manual for the community to build and sustain the units as a pop-up project.
What else can be made?
BUILDING A BARBECUE
1. The Barbecue pop-up is built by combining three 1200mmx1200mm modules.
2. They can be increased in size by adding a 1200mmx1200mm module.
3. This can be replicated in different parts of the park to accommodate more barbecue areas.
MAINTENANCE:
1. The grill is powered by charcoal.
2. All items for grilling to be brought by users, cleaned and taken back after their session.
3. The barbecue area can be used only during the opening hours of the Kilburn Grange Park (7:30am-8pm)
