Smoothly

The range of types of movement and distances as a result of various body shapes are limited by standardized, social and architectural structures. I observed people with various bodies and movements at 125st in Harlem, analyzed architectural elements that impede people’s movement and researched design solutions in order to solve these problems. Marcus Garvey Park – located in the center of Harlem – is a welfare centre for neighbors who live nearby. It has a special landscape feature based on its history and geography. The centre was fortified during the Revolutionary War and was named after Marcus Mosiah Garvey, while the hills were made of Schist. Although this park is a space that various people can enjoy, it has multiple architectural elements that disabled people or people with physical mobility difficulties are unable to enjoy. I aspire to design the necessary architectural elements in this park in order to transform it into a park that people of various body types can enjoy.
