Supply Arch for Woodruff Park @ Design Bloc

Visit Project Details

The Problem

Our [Supply-Arch] helps [park patrons] who experience [a disruption in publicly-accessible resources] by reducing [the amount of time these resources are unavailable]. This is facilitated by [increasing the presence of sanitation and recreation items] through [a consistently restocked dispenser].

Users & Audience

Our audience was park patrons of Woodruff Park in Atlanta.

Team & Role

I worked with my group to collaboratively design solutions with park patrons, and come up with multiple sketch ideas, and iterate on them after comments & reccomendations from park patrons.

Design Process

We recieved feedback from future users, noting that Hygiene is important need for park users; Community chests would benefit everyone; However, the obvious choice of a shower would raise safety concerns and how could we differentiate our future product fom pre-existing services in the park? We started to think more on how to iterate on this feedback, while also tryign to support park staff in their increased work demand, and possibly involving the unhoused in increasing the park utility. The first iteration of this new idea began as a Park closet that contained items for anyone to use in the Park. We eventually transitioned into creating something that had the utility of the closet but expressed in a different form In addition, we tried to address the notion of the supply being art in itself, instead of displaying art.

Design Process

This is our first iteration of the final product. This is our final product idea.
