Assignment No. 3: Pocket Park Design 25%


Due: Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at 1:30 pm

Programming a space is essential for successful, contextually appropriate


landscape design. This assignment will require you to consider the landscape
setting of the site and work through the design process for a pocket park.

Part 1:

Select a SPECIFIC site for your park. Note that the size of each park is 12m x 30m,
regardless of location.

Location I: Dense Urban Centre: Downtown Toronto, Ontario


Location II: Small City Urban Centre: Downtown Guelph, Ontario
Location III: Small Town Centre: Main Street Erin, Ontario

i. Generate a program for the park space based on your selected location. What
will activities will take place in this park? What facilities are needed for the
activities? Is this a formal park? What is the CONTEXT of your park and how
does this affect the program?
ii. Create a bubble diagram that shows desire functional relationships and
adjacencies as well as barriers/program elements that should not be adjacent.
This is ABSTRACT and should utilize symbols and labels.
iii. Use your bubble diagram to create a site suitability diagram - where on the site
do the program elements FIT. Generate multiple ideas at this stage using
simple shapes/lines at scale over a “base plan”. What space making devices
and form types will you employ in the design of your space? Classical,
orthogonal design, symmetrical or asymmetrical, curvilinear? What materials
are you using? What has inspired the form?
iv. After determining WHERE on the site the desired program will be laid out,
create a conceptual design for the park. Draw the park in plan at 1:100 scale.
Draw a longitudinal section through the park and at two points horizontally, be
sure to select sections that provide the most interest and information. Draw an
axonometric view of the park. These drawings should be neatly hand drawn in
ink to SCALE. Indicate the scale of each drawing and the title of each drawing.
Provide adequate labelling and/or clear textural drawing types to clearly show
design intent by use different line weights, types, drawing techniques to
communicate
v. Use InDesign to create a layout using 11 x 17 sheets to display all of the
deliverables. (including Part 2)

Part 2:

Throughout this project, select 2 Praxis exercises from the January 27 lecture
(available on CourseLink). Use this project as a basis for the praxis exercises. One
must completed during the programming and planning stage of the project and
one must be completed during the conceptual design phase of this project.

Desk Crits & Studio Work Periods

February 12: Select a site and prepare a draft program and scale base plan to
discuss with either a TA or instructor.
February 26: Prepare programmatic bubble diagrams, site suitability diagram, and
begin experimenting with FORM in a conceptual design. Complete one praxis. The
completed work will be discussed with either a TA or instructor.

Assessment

The assignment will be assessed with two things in mind: process and product,
and through the lenses of completeness, content, and communication (or C-C-C).

Process: Design thinking should be revealed through all deliverables, showing a


progression from program development to the nal conceptual design. Student’s
must be present for both desk crits and should utilize the given studio work
periods to further their project, work with peers, and accept/respond to feedback.

Product: Will be evaluated on the clarity and quality of preparation in


communicating the design intent of all deliverables. Exhibiting an understanding
of space, form, and the design process in landscape architecture will be evaluated
positively.
