The idea is to create a concept that utilises a space, that promotes interaction within a given context. Being; the praying hand memorial situated next to the CAT building within UCLANs Preston Site.
How will we enhance the space to facilitate the communication between students?
The site is used within many contexts, the first being the most important is the site acts as a Social gathering point, many students use this as a meeting place. The site has two benches which people use to sit down and have a chat with their peers or have something to eat.
The environment has not been effectively used as a lot of the space is void of any materials and free from objects. It is not a very appealing place too stay around too long.
The space is not used to its full potential which is a shame. With the right concept the space could house an interesting emotion filled space that captures the essene of what we are trying to achieve. Users would be happy/ happier to spend more time there.
Students who have been spoken to do not think the site fulfils its potential and would be happy for a new concept to be introduced.
The main issue is how the space is uninviting and lacks soul. A concept needs to be derived that utilises the space to make it a unique focal point in UCLAN where students would like to come and stay for a while and be in an atmosphere and an environment that is exciting and creative whilst looking towards the future.
The context is looking at a space that lacks modernisation in a community that is shaping the future, we only have the CAT & Media building that focuses on current up to date technology.
The site has to be designed towards the future and move towards more innovative technologies that facilitate communication between not just the students but the community.
