The LILY POD

Concept

Assignment:

Find an area close to where you with and improve it

My Concept:

I decided to look at the closes lake to my house. It is a popular lake in the neighbourhood for its 3.3km path around it. People like to run and walk around the lake and many have it as their daily walk. Although it is popular it does need some improvements. The path is very uneven and people constantly need to step aside because the path becomes to narrow.

I wanted to embrace the fact that it is a lake and make an urban design solution which takes the lily pods found in the lake and make them large. This solution straightens the path, making it wider, and allowing people to sit down and swim from the platforms. Opening up the possibilities to do more activities than just walking and running around the lake.
