Built Environment Observation Activity
|
Objective (Describes experience) |
Subjective (Thoughts, analysis, interpretation) |
| 3 Swings (wooden) | Makes more people want to sit in the area |
| 2-seater swings | Friends have enough room to sit together |
| It is located in a corner space | It’s cozy even though it’s outside |
| Grass | It was muddy |
| Square tiles in the ground near the swings | It would be a good place to put your feet when the grass is muddy after the rain |
| Trees nearby | To provide shade |
| Hooks on the swing poles | Maybe to hang bags (two students that were there used the hooks for that) |
| Bridge connecting Student Center East and Urban Life | — |
| Drain in the ground nearby | Good for when it rains |
| 3 light poles | Useful at night to keep the area well lit |
| Swings held up by chains | So that the swings can hold the weight of two people |
| Smells like grass | Not a good or bad smell |
| Sound of vent blowing | I liked to have some type of noise in the background and not just silence |
| Vents | — |
| 2 students talking | It’s a nice place to talk and relax with friends |
Schindler’s “Architectural Exclusion”
What Does It Mean?
3.) “Architectural regulation is powerful in part because it is unseen’ it allows government to shape our actions without our perceiving that our experience has been deliberately shaped” (1940)
- The reason that architectural exclusion is powerful is because the government is able to control our actions without us being aware that they are doing it.
7.)”…’there is no such thing as a neutral design” (1948)
- Every design is made a certain way for a reason
18.) “..the design of many suburban communities, with their cul-de-sacs and curvy streets, makes them confusing to outsiders who can not see what lies on the other side of the neighborhood. This street layout also gives non-residents fewer reasons to enter the neighborhood in the first place; the multiple dead end streets and cul-de-sacs of a suburban neighborhood often all branch off a single arterial road” (1972).
- The design of cul-de-sacs are used to hide was is the other side of the neighborhood from non-residents and with the purpose of discouraging them from entering by making the streets in it confusing and complicated.
