The way to the new school
Lady in Purple Jacket: Since the project is focusing on how to mix the new students with the former ones, she thinks some activity, like workshops or happy ours, may help. The community or the school could hold some workshops at the bus stop at regular intervals. In this case, the activity would become more and more famous and regular. People living in this area would feel it is part of their life.
The professor studies economy: He thinks the main value of the project is not the design itself, but the problem I pick. The problem of closing schools is not talking about “how would we use the empty buildings” but “how shall we do to switch those 20,000 students”. In this case, in the urban level, how we choose the path for students to go to the new school seems a good direction to go afterwards.I can create a model that helps to evaluate the path by some principles (such as safety, interesting, community around for example). The picked path could be recommended by the schools or government to the parents, so students would probably use them. Then, in the path level, there’re accessories I designed before. By doing this, the design would be guided by an evaluation system in the urban scale.
The Chinese girl who loves to smile: She also mentioned that we should hold some activities to make sure two groups of students would actually mix with each other by playing together along the road. She thinks what is really important in this design is not the physical projects, but how we guide students to do. So a research&design about the whole system is necessary: time, activity, users and projects.
