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.
