You probably can't see the image in the 'p' very clear but it is indicative of what I'd like to see there. Some sort of architectural patchwork intervention. The image is of 'patchwork park' which is a mixture of activities being patched together. Looking closely at the project, it is no different to a normal park which has benches to sit on, paving to walk on, grass to sit on & play activities e.g. swings. But the configuration and notion of patchwork in this case has created a new typology of the park, although the program and activity is still traditionally the same.
To me, the image starts to represent what we are trying to do, i.e. patching together different programs onto a site.
