Day 02 - Eamonn Kelly

Site for new playground

The day consisted of a site visit to analyse the site conditions.  We began by finding out the bus timetables and journey times to and from the site, 45 minutes each way (23 miles away).  Once we arrived onsite, we split into groups to measure the site, take photos and mark up locations of drains, trees and other obstacles.  By visiting the site it gave everyone the opportunity to see and experience the conditions in order to begin thinking about design ideas.

We left site around midday and after lunch had a discussion about people’s initial thoughts about the site and conditions.  Later in the afternoon, we drew up a 1:100 site plan and pinned up for all to see for our later discussions.  We concluded by allowing everyone to go away and think about design proposals for discussion tomorrow.
