Re-Imagining Public Space

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, public spaces in cities were deserted and left unused. In order to revitalize these public spaces, some interventions were needed to transform these spaces into Covid-safe zones.
Firstly, in groups, we must conduct 2 case studies about how public spaces in the world were intervened to adapt to the pandemic.
Then, we were to come up with a Covid-19 intervention for our chosen public space in Taylor's campus.

Research

Our leader delegated the case study research. Members were to research about 2 public places that had been intervened to adapt to the pandemic.
Our chosen places were Julian B Riverfront Park and Thomas Avenue.
We then compiled our information in a shared google doc.

Intervention

Once the case studies were finalized, we discussed our Covid-19 intervention in Taylor's campus.

Our chosen area was Unisquare and Lakeside staircase.

Our intervention concept was named 'Wishboard' and we aimed to transform our space into a fun yet Covid-safe area.
So, we inserted chess structures where activities could be conducted inside and introduced a wishing lane.

Taylor's Graduate Capabilities

Although Ms. Renee gave us some basic guidelines we had to conduct our own research and extract information independently.

Through this assignment, we realized how people's well-being was affected by the pandemic. Hence, it's important to create a public space that catered to users' daily needs.

I reflected a lot upon the way I communicated with my teammates. I realized that I was too pushy and intimidating towards them. Eventually, I learned to put more faith on my leader and members and allowed them to do their work.
