T.R. Proctor Park
Empathy Project
Empathy Project
I selected T.R. Proctor park for my empathy project because it is located in an under-privileged area of the city. While it had recently been updated by the Cal Ripkin Jr. Foundation there are areas that are still under-utilized and I was curious as to why that was the case.
Visited the site to get an idea of how it is utilized and to speak to park goers.
I took notes and observed during inclement weather, clear weather as well as a local sporting event.
Making sure to make sketches of the area and foot traffic.
Using notes and observations I designed a visual map of the site to better understand it's uses and to note areas that were in need of improvement
