The AWB Oregon
team members have developed a unified design scheme to present to
the City of Portland for the Sabin Triangle pocket park. This effort followed the
community’s last response to an earlier AWB design charette in May, and
new designs were presented to the community on August 2, 2011 during a
neighborhood gathering at the park. Attended at various times over by
40 residents, the presentation featured potluck food, music and these
images below of the new park proposal.
The general
design radiates from each end of the park triangle through arced
patterns of permeable paving and bioswale planters. These are
demonstrated in both a cleaner, open configuration and then again in a
more full-featured set that includes community sculpture and additional
planter seating.
