A large public park in the new community of Rivva views designed for contemplative strolling along a meandering lagoon landscape. Places of prospect and refuge look to views over landscape.

The planning and development process for a park or green space involves 9 stages: 1) land acquisition, 2) general plan, 3) plan approvals, 4) consultant selection, 5) contract, 6) bids, 7) permitting dry-run, 8) design and construction docs, and 9) construction. Key steps include project scoping to define expectations, site and area assessments to identify opportunities and constraints, needs analysis through community outreach and surveys, recreation analysis to determine facilities, consultant selection, design, and approval processes that can take 6 months to 2 years.

The document provides details about the Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi, India. It was designed in 1957 to celebrate 2500 years of Buddha's enlightenment. Prime Minister Nehru selected the design by Mansingh Rana, which featured undulating green slopes and meandering streams for a peaceful environment reflecting Buddha's life. Influenced by Japanese zen gardens, Rana included concrete bridges and focused on landscape elements over greenery. Though maintenance has reduced streams and lakes, the park still offers visitors respite in its lyricism and grounded quality reflecting Buddhist teachings.

Westminster Bridge Plaza

rgaskill

The Westminster Bridge Park Plaza development in London required complex engineering to construct a column-free ballroom basement. Two giant Vierendeel trusses support the upper floors and allow an atrium, with the floors hung from the trusses. Post-tensioning was used in transfer beams and slabs to support the 12 upper floors without columns and provide the necessary column-free zone for the ballroom. The construction involved a top-down method and temporary works to support the trusses during erection.

Research questions gr 4

Jackie Church

This document discusses two types of research questions - big questions and smaller questions. Big questions are open-ended, require longer answers, and direct overall research. Examples include "How do airplanes fly?". Smaller questions support the big question and usually start with who, what, where, when. They have shorter, more specific answers. Examples include "Who invented the first airplane?". The document provides guidance to students on developing questions about the author Jeff Kinney for a research project.

Placemaking

Yuri Artibise

Placemaking involves designing public spaces to serve the people and bring communities together through mixed uses, successful streets, open spaces, appropriate urban scale, movement frameworks, and a sense of place. It is about making spaces that people gravitate towards and that capture the soul of a neighborhood by creating local identity and embracing the people, buildings, events, and nature in an area. The goal is to take back the public realm and create character and meaning to make a space a living place for the community.

12/15/2011 Webinar: Creative Placemaking: Thinking Beyond Projects

National Creativity Network

CREATIVE PLACEMAKING: Thinking Beyond Projects In the words of a recent National Endowment for the Arts report, Creative Placemaking animates public and private spaces, rejuvenates structures and streetscapes, improves local business viability and public safety, and brings diverse people together to celebrate, inspire, and be inspired. Arts and culture have been a part of community revitalization and economic development strategies for years. Creative Placemaking is more than a new term for this effort -- at its highest levels, it involves a new way of thinking about the role of creativity in making society more sustainable. It is not just about doing projects -- it is also about the thinking behind the projects and about making stronger connections between creative, community and economic development. Learn from experts and practitioners who have been at the heart of efforts to use creativity to grow communities and get a sneak peek at Creative Placemaking in action. Our three panelists will provide some helpful examples of what they have done in their communities: Steve Dalhberg, is director of the Connecticut-based International Centre for Creativity and Imagination, vice president of innovation for Future Workplace, and faculty of "Creativity + Social Change" at the University of Connecticut. Leonardo Vazquez, AICP/PP is the Director of Arts Build Communities at Rutgers University. He will discuss Rutgers¹ community coaching program and ABC¹s new Master Practitioner Certificate Program in creative placemaking. The Wormfarm Institute in Sauk County, Wisconsin, is rural creative placemaking at its best. It's a 40-acre organic vegetable farm and creative hub, begun 15 years ago by artists Jay Salinas and Donna Neuwirth. Wormfarm aims to recreate the link that once existed between culture and agriculture with innovative and intuitive efforts that center around a sense of the land and the community.

11 Principles of Placemaking

Project for Public Spaces

The 11 principles of placemaking emphasize engaging the local community as experts, creating places rather than following designs, partnering with others for resources and ideas, overcoming skepticism through action and observation, developing a community vision, considering how spaces will be used, combining complementary activities, starting with small improvements, finding creative financing, and ongoing management after completion.

The Art of Place Making

Jose Carlos Ayala

This document discusses the art of placemaking and its importance for Prince George's County's future. It outlines how current development has focused on cars, leading to sprawling suburbs and isolated civic buildings and shopping centers. However, demographic trends show residents want more walkable, urban communities. Placemaking is defined as a community-driven, visionary process to create public spaces that bring people together and connect the past and present. The document advocates for more multimodal transportation options and human-centric development, with diverse public spaces like parks and trails, to build livelier, socially inclusive communities and improve quality of life. The highest art of placemaking will help Prince George's County achieve its vision for 2035 of thriving, safe,

Thesis Project

Messer Yang

This project proposes developing an artificial wave park and desalination facility at Pier 76 in San Francisco. The wave park would include two surfing pools fed by seawater from the bay, while the desalination facility would transform seawater into fresh water to supply the city. An artificial landscape park would connect these areas and the surrounding communities while circulating water throughout. The project aims to activate formerly industrial land and address California's drought by providing a new water source and recreational opportunity embracing the state's surf culture.
