Design Proposal - 1
Ramp (Toolkit: Accessibility)
Providing different types of seats with or without shelter to support different activities(Toolkit: Seating)
5m 4m 1.5m 2m
35
All the seat wall can also be used as seats
Bike Parking
Separate bike lane (Toolkit: Safety)
The green buffers are divided into 6 parts by the entrance of the street. Here I choose one part to show how I improve the condition here by using the toolkits. There are mainly four toolkits I used in this design proposal. Seating is used for providing different kinds of seats not only for people to rest but also can support older people for some activities such as playing chess/cards. Also, ramps added here to improve the accessibility of the street.
In order to separate the bike with the pedestrian, a bike lane is provided here combine with the bike parking area.
Sufficient seats are added here for people to rest combine with shelters or tree shading.

The small square at the street entrance is used by few people due to there is no seats or other facilities to support people’s activities. So, the design aims to active this space by providing enough seats and outdoor fitness equipment combine with the children’s playground to attract people staying here,
