Process
Example of Garden City Park, Richmond, BC
AnalysisAn understanding of the physical site and its processes, together with an understanding of the site within its context is an essential starting point for the process of design.
ResearchExamination of leading research on outdoor play environments for children enabled the design team to create a play environment that meets the needs of children of all ages.
Public ConsultationWorkshops were held at a local elementary school to gain insight into the interests and activities of the park’s main user groups. These workshops were an innovative process that involved children in the preliminary design to the play environment.
Conceptual DesignThrough public consultation, research, analysis and exchange of ideas, the preferred design for the Garden City play environment was developed.
Built ProjectThe end result of the design process is a space that eschews traditional notions of playgrounds and instead utilizes the site’s context and children’s inherent curiosities to provide an experientially rich play environment.
70cm ConstructionThe preferred concept was then refined into drawings for construction. This process evolved loose conceptual ideas and forms into a network of detailed designs with special emphasis on structures, surfaces, spaces, planting and materials. The design team then worked closely with the contractors to ensure the play environment was built to the highest standards.
