DESIGN STATEMENT

“RESILIENCE BY DESIGN”

Concept

“ YOUR OWN SPACE “

: keeping a safe space between persons to modify a group behavior

Intro

: The bus stop crowded by people cause congestion and risk of the unexpected, so the question is how to solve this problem. The solution is to define and create a personal space in public areas that can prevent both rain water and sunlight. From the above, a thing that can fix all the problems is an “umbrella” which is the absolute answer.

Before

: The pre-existing space was a clearly defined structure which forced persons to be in the same area.

1.Public area for everyone. 2.Normally, everyone wants their personal space and tries to keep the distance. 3.Bus stop is where the people are crowded. 4.Increasing numbers of people make them lose their personal space. 5.Crowded people cause risk of the unexpected.

After

: There will be no roof for pedestrians at the bus stop for a good of the environment in that area, and everybody must have an umbrella since it will set a personal space for each individual. Furthermore, the pedestrians can move around freely and even feel safe and uncrowned since everyone in this current situation has to keep the distance to reduce the risk of the unexpected.

1.Holding an umbrella will create personal space. 2. Distance between people is created. 3. People will be automatically separated. 4. Becoming moveable personal space

Elevation

Using an umbrella creates personal space and how much personal space a person wants depends on how high or low he or she holds an umbrella. The lower the umbrella is, the more personal space is needed.

Tool

: Area determination for creating space between individuals.

Diagram Umbrella

: At the rush hour where the people are crowded, umbrellas will keep the distance between individuals.

Material

Black Japanese pebble = it’s a this to mark the limits of the waiting area and to reduce the improper use of the area. For instance, the homeless use it as a hangout.

PC solid = Transparent seats the blend in the environment.

“The imaginary span of personal space represented by umbrellas, which can create a distance between people in public areas, creates a spatially

dimensional perception and social responsibility of social distancing.”
