INTRODUCTION TO PLACE MAKING

DESIGNED OUT OF IT BUT FORGOTTEN Though we have derived of out urban areas and flock

around great public spaces either in daily life or in vacations

but have forgotten about methods to create in our own

community

ATTRACTIVE AND UNATTRACTIVE People have found Inactive , Pedestrian devoid

environments as boring and unattractive

eventually becoming unsafe and used

IDENTITY Foster landmarks for the

community and spirit of

the place

ex: LONDON EYE

IMAGEABILITY Aesthetically beautifies a

space giving a sense of

belongingness

ACTIVITY Stimulates daily activities

around the space such

as walking, playing etc

CULTURAL STIMULATION Creates a cultural identity

and sense of inclusitivioty
