Sense of Place- Street Furniture Design Project: Revised Concepts and Further Site Research

As Recommended by my tutor,  I went back to all 3 sites in the evening to observe the characteristics of each site at a different time of day. The discoveries made have driven my new concepts:

Revised Concepts and Further Research

Peer and Tutor Feedback:

+ve The security risk posed to evening pedestrians and the nuisance of train noise are great observations and create good opportunities for concepts. 

-ve for the first concept consider: Modular units, durability, material choice, how light will be projected, how much light is need

-ve for the third concept look into: acoustics (the best shapes/patterns to deflect sound),  materials that best absorb sound,  a ‘universal/modular’ that could be installed behind/around existing furniture, aesthetics

+ve peers took well to the 'wave-like' form; a curved chair will result in a more desirable aesthetic

+ve consider cantileverage, composite layers of material, and how directional is the path of noise i.e. will it bend around a wall?
