Public Space Design:
The space I have created is a park-like setting with a central grassy area surrounded by walking paths, benches, and trees. There is a playground for children, a small pond with a fountain, and an outdoor seating area for adults. The design shows a balance between open spaces for recreation and more secluded areas for relaxation.
I created comfortable places for people to use by strategically placing benches and seating areas in shaded areas, near the pond, and along the walking paths. The playground equipment is designed with safety and comfort in mind, with soft surfaces and age-appropriate structures.
The colors chosen for the public space are calming and natural, with shades of green for the grass and trees, blue for the water in the pond, and neutral tones for the benches and playground equipment. This color scheme evokes a sense of tranquility and peace in the space.
I think people spending time in my public space would feel relaxed and rejuvenated. The peaceful surroundings, comfortable seating options, and natural elements would create a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere for visitors of all ages. The variety of activities available, from walking paths to playground equipment, would also contribute to a sense of happiness and well-being for those using the space.
