3d DESIGN. PARKLET.
This group project focused on designing a functional and welcoming parklet outside of a Starbucks on 2nd Street in downtown Davis. Working within specific site, height and size constraints, our team brainstormed and developed multiple design iterations to create a space that encourages studying, social interaction and relaxation. The structure combines seating, tables and overhead shading elements to create both comfort and visual rhythm while remaining accessible and adaptable for different users. Throughout the process, we created 3D digital models, laser-cut scaled components, and built a physical cardboard prototype to present our final concept. The project emphasized collaboration, spatial design and the balance between functionality and aesthetics in a public environment.
