Street Furniture WPR2

My skate park camera dock has begun to take shape. I have experimented with many forms and have settled on a final design to show my tutor tomorrow. I want to confirm the design before I begin 3D modeling. I have also studied the Street Furniture website and have decided that the manufacturing and material processes will follow similarly to that of the Arqua Water Fountain.


I have taken more pictures of other skateparks and BMX tracks as to further broaden my primary research collection.





I am also considering to make the camera dock an integrated light bollard aswell, to illuminate the area at night for safety.

Peer Feedback
Gizem:
It is a pretty good concept overall. I like the universal aspect of the design where the camera is self provided by the user and the availability created for a new addition to skateboard culture. The tripod approach the platform provides is quite clever. However you need to consider the free perspective and camera movement a regular tripod provides with the form that you are using for your design. I like the design of the form that you are using, it is almost a sculptural form. I believe it could be a brilliant project if the idea is developed to a further degree.

Amy:
Designing something for a skatepark really requires some extra thought. If it's in the park, people are going to want to be able to skate on it. This isnt necessarily a bad thing though, you can definitely incorporate light and a camera dock into something that can be skated on. Materials that facilitate graffiti removal and are incredibly durable will need to be researched. I'm really looking forward to seeing this explored further :)
