Something more subtle?

So Far, So ?

still struggling with the vertical transfer from ground to rooftop (top pic), might try something more subtle.

Concept

The hub on briggate needs to have an everyday use but be designed with parkour moves and techniques in mind. If an artificial parkour training area is formed this could alienate other users of Briggate and may not be attrative traceurs as it would be too contrived (?).

The installation also needs to create a link from the ground to the rooftops for the exhibitions/ competion races.

Parkour Route

A series of parkour hubs - public spaces designed with parkour in mind.

These hubs would be nursery slopes where would be 'traceurs' can practice their techniques but when connected make a circuit for parkour or freerunning exhibitions and competitions. The hubs would become viewing points along the course.

A similar installation down Briggate?

Briggate Proposal - Leeds Parkour Route

Our redefinition of Briggate concentrated on the pedestrian routes throughout Leeds. I am proposing various public spaces throughout the city that can be connected to create a parkour course - an alternative route not constrained by percieved or actual physical obstructions.



The plan at the moment is to concentrate on one of these nodes, creating a space that gives the opportunity for both practice and observation.

Redefining Briggate Group Work

Briggate as a component of a larger synergistic system, linked by a pedestrian network.

The thought processes that led to the new definition, the network of coponents and its links.
