By redesigning urban spot, we are giving new and fresh look for the area
however, the skeptical will challenge new design; be it for personal and communities at large agenda.
Then perhaps, the authorities must initiate dialogue with the affected communities in finalizing the best solution for all.
Role of landscape architect, especially for public amenities, mediating rather than shoving the solution into public must be avoid at all cost.
Regret will come if not tomorrow, in years to come.
Also, the designer for public realm must consider how maintenance will affect their product.
will the shelter withstand torment the nature wrath?
will the shelter respond to climate change?
Such question when given thought during design process will give impact for cost consideration in maintenance scheme
Furthermore, material pallete for the design must adhere to sound ecological principle.
will we, as designer plant trees alien to new habitat just for sake of aesthetic?
no doubt, when making this decision, the higher desicion making within the organization will 'suggest' nice looking trees without considering ecological impact with such decision.
Then the designer must again 'mediate' and 'educate' the organization, ecological principles must be above all in selecting such material.
