ICI FINAL PROJECT

1. Combination of recreation area and commercial area
Pocket Park
A mini park or vest-pocket park about 0.35 hectare which consist of plantings, trees, 20-foot
waterfall on back wall, moveable chairs and tables, greenery, children’s playground.
A coffee kiosk opens in good weather to serve reasonably-priced coffees and snacks.
Rationale
The waterfall creates a backdrop of grey noise to mask the sounds of the city. In addition, the
waterfall also provide a focal point and a dramatic reason to visit the park. Its noise creates a sense
of quiet and privacy.
The chairs and the tables are light. It provide a resting area for the residences, area for small events
and neighbourhood events.
Children’s playground provides an active and free area for the children
Benefit
Pocket park creates a comfortable space and have a good image. It provides a small event space,
play areas for children, spaces for relaxing or meeting friends and provide a space for taking lunch
breaks. Pocket park can be a refuge from the bustle of surrounding urban life and offer opportunities
for rest and relaxation. From an ecological standpoint, greenery within pocket parks can help
regulate microclimates and act as the “lungs” of the city.
Impact
Pocket park has limited space. User needs are both diverse and vary throughout the day, conflicts
can sometimes arise between different groups. In addition, pocket parks are easier to create than to
maintain because without functional design, community support, use and maintenance, they may
fall into disrepair. Next, pocket park does not provide parking and serve a resident population of
approximately 500-1000 persons only.

8. Structural engineer
 They analyse configurations of the basic structural components of a building or other structure.
