What was your design intent when designing your groups playground? What message, purpose, or solution were you trying to convey or solve?

Designers communicate intent by balancing creativity with function to meet user needs and solve real-world problems.

Make a 1 minute video with your team to present your group sketch for your playground design. Discuss the design features you included & why.

Factual: What is design intent?
Conceptual: How can a designer communicate a message or purpose through form and function?
Debatable: Is it more important for a design to look good or to work well?

Our groups main goal with our playground is that the area where we imagined that it would be built would have more access to ramps as most building have stairs and most elevators are for business buildings which are play ground isn't, it also has more activities to do so more experiences than the average playground.

Factual:Our groups design intent is to let it be diverse and different for each area kind like the wind range of physical or mental abilities.

Conceptual:It allows be welcomed, through its main play structure having more access for everyone, different areas for interaction and exploration, even having extra parking as it can be a hassle to find a spot to park in playground or parks.

Debatable: It's in-between for me. Ours is supposed to be more in the functionality area of design but it also has more aspects of looking good so pick and choose which is more important

We each developed our own little sketches of what we wanted our parks to look like. I had in mind people with wheel chairs and those with weak muscles so we added ramps and rubber grips to the railings to the playground area, and we wanted semi bold colors for those with vision issues, but still not dark enough for them not to notice.
