Briggate - Updated Sheets 4 of 4


Sheet 4 - just some added annotation and a change of some image colours to tie in with earlier sheets.

Briggate - Updated Sheets 3 of 4


Sheet 3 - now showing how the space benefits everyone, not just the traceurs (Parkour practitioners)

Briggate - Updated Sheets 2 of 4

More info on the Parkour sheet - hopefully the additional images will give a little insight as to how I developed the wall form for this scheme.

Briggate - Updated Sheets 1 of 4 (well 5 really)

The original sheet 1 has been demoted to sheet 0 as it reitterates the define / redefine part of the project. This new sheet 1 analyses public space in Leeds.

Feedback on presentation

Review with Bob and Claire (fulltime PGDip tutors)

Didn't go down too well. Comments and recommendations include:
  • Is too one dimensional - mearly linear from top to bottom of Briggate. Suggested inclusion of a cafe or taking structure off at different angles.
  • Obscures views. Briggate is a successful space because of its visual permeability. A few breaks in the wall and a couple of holes punched through it aren't enough. Could it be a temporary installation.
  • Need to demonstrate how the scheme improves Briggate.
  • How can the space be enjoyed by by the general public?
  • Demonstrate that the scheme is not exclusively for parkour.
  • Show more design development - from parkour perspective and also from public space perspective.
  • Compare to public space throughout Leeds - what are they lacking, what does this scheme bring?
  • On the plus side the graphic layout and presentation style were praised.

So looks like I have a little bit of work to do. Personally I am reasonably happy with the design and do feel that it enhances Briggate but agree that I need to sell it a bit better and show more of the development.

Briggate Proposal - Sheet 4 of 4

The pretty images (remembered to put in the narrative too)

Briggate Proposal - Sheet 1 of 4

First of the 4 A1 sheets done (barring any last minute changes).
The idea is to do the background stuff on sheet 1, intro to Parkour and why in Leeds on sheet 2, the design for Briggate sheet 3 and fancy images on sheet 4.
