Textured walkways is a circulation system which creates connection throughout Regent, North Dakota. By applying textures, the
walkways will produce exciting sounds and view sheds between the
corridors of main street. These corridors will gain interest of the pedestriantherefor leading them throughout the city.

Metal Water FeatuSlater Sculpt
Sidewalk ArtJulian Beever
-The images shows how the optical illusion
diverts pedestrian traffic.
-water running down the metal will create a calmin
sound. The sculpture is reflectant that brings intere
to the piece.
I will apply
reflectant
material
such as
different
metals to the
sidewalks that
will create
sound when
walked upon.
By using plant material I will be able
to change the course of pedestrian
traffic to lead them in certain
directions and different viewsheds.

Inventory&Analysis
The cracked concrete has a negative effect. I want
use cracked and textured concrete to influence the
pedestrian to walk certain directions and make the
pedestrian aware of their surroundings
Easy accessibility is implemented into the
site but only in two places. It is important
to have sidewalk and ramps to ADA coding to
accomodate people of all ages and abilities.
The site has a pedestrian walkway system I have
never seen before. The design is extremely intriguin
but poorly executed.
Main street had only one accessibility ramp.
The sidewalk is wide which
could allow for great design
possibilities.
- Cracked concrete and
slanted stairs create an
unsafe feeling for the
pedestrian.
Cracked concrete and slanted
stairs create an unsafe feeling for
the pedestrian.
Main street is
extrememly wide
creating an
empty and
unsafe feeling.
This vast space
has no soundbarriers to
quiet surround
sounds.

Winter!
Texture & Lighting
Pedestrian Circulation
Pedestrian Circulation perspective shows how plantinmaterial can change the course of pedestrian traffic. Seating is im
on the steps that are up to ADA codes. This perspective shows h
accessible ramp can be used. The ramp has a run of 27 feet and
of three feet.
Texture & Lighting perspective incorporates sound and a
of safety. Pedestrian scaled lighting is used to create a comfortabenvironment at night. Textures such as stamped concrete and scr
sheet metal will be placed on the sidewalk to create sound and di
textures. The textures will make the pedestrian aware of where th
walking and will create a sound with every step that is taken.
This view give an example of what the site will look like
in winter. Snow will be plowed over the stairs to clear
the sidewalk for pedestrian use.

Lighting
Pedestrian scaled lighting is incorporated
into the site to create a comfortable
nighttime environment. These lighting
structures will light up pedestrian crossing
and the accessible ramp.
Four Lighting structures are implemented on
each block on both sides of main streets to
solve the lighting issues that were previously
seen.
