A quick site analysis of our identified site for this project

Feedback for the above was that the colour palette could possibly be toned down. It came off a little way too bright and vibrant and somehow might draw attention away from some of the structures (i.e. The Main Structure) as the Main Structure was primarily going to be constructed with natural materials (e.g. wood) so the colours were going to be very earthly and brown especially with the brown rubber mulch ground cover as well. Thus with the sudden pop of colour in the space with the obstacle courses etc. the attention seems to be drawn away / there is too much contrast.

A suggestion was that we could possibly just do away with the bright colours and just work with a nature coloured palette instead since our concept was pretty much nature-liked as well.

Overall, it was a really interesting project for both of us as we got to look into a specific site thoroughly, coming up with a placemaking solution for our identified site within the location – The playground area. Through this project we have also learnt a lot along the way with regards to the technical aspect of things and more, how we could possibly look into our various  Also hearing the feedback from our peers during the critique and sharing sessions also provided us with many valuable insights and suggestions to improvements for our proposed idea, opening up more possibilities of the project.
