Reflection on walking tour

We walked through Plazas, Parks and Squares,Ā a designer has to know the difference between them and when toĀ use Plaza, Parks and Squares depends on different situations. I found a choice can inflence the feeling of a place. TheĀ tricky part is to figure outĀ what’s the best one to beĀ designed in an area.Ā They have difference usages, materials used, and principles.

Ā Ā I think a park should have fence, trees and seats, it is a kind of quiet area and makes people feel relax and quiet. Sometimes it has other usages like blocking the noise from streets, makes airĀ cleaner and so on. However, aĀ plaza can be a good place for people to hangout and play together, sometimesĀ plazas merge to theĀ Ā surroundings, a plaza is often opened, chairs can be moved, andĀ more flexible.

A square can have both characters fromĀ parks and plazas. I thinkĀ to design a square, designers have to think about feelings, spaces, views, landuse, and so on.
