Travel Future-target audiences

There is a group in China who was born between late 50’s and 60’s and is approximately 45-50 now. They are different from the generation Y in western world. During childhood and adolescence, they had experienced a hard lifetime and were raised up and educated in traditional Chinese background. When they became youth, it was the time when China started the policy of reform and opening. Due to this policy, this group becomes the first group influenced by and accepts western capitalist culture. It is both culture and economic shock to them. After decades fighting, some succeed 60’s stand out become the pillar of Chinese society. These people are high educated, successful, wealthy and with taste of design product. Even though they have high consumption level, they are economizing than generation X relatively. The aim of their travel is usually for business, they will not stay at the destination longer to visit scenic spots after work. Sometimes they will drive to suburb with natural scenery to spend leisure time. Their taste of product Prefer simple, elegant, fluent design. Appreciating the design has the combination with western and Chinese element. They will not follow the fashion and hope the product could be used for long time and will not out of date. They hope the products could show their taste of life. That could be high-level living level and a person is believed in arts and Chinese culture. They will choose products used comfort rather than fashion design. Having special preference to natural or environmental materials such as bamboo fiber and signature cotton. They will keep working but hope to change their busy life and live in a slow speed. They seek to have the feel of Zen in their life and most of them believe in Buddhism.

Project 3

Rationale For this project, I choose the crown park locates in city Toyota in Waterloo. This park is surrounded with new apartment buildings. It is a modern apartment zone. Most of the residents are young and middle-aged couples and students. Crown Park is one of the great community spaces that include: grass lawns, seating areas, water features. Residents can also walk their dogs there, as Crown Park is an off-leash area at all times. After the field research, it was found that there is many people let their dogs play in this park. One problem is almost of the dogs' owners standing in the middle of the grass area in order to keep an eye on their pets. All the chairs locate at the edges of the park and no pet owner would use these. Since the sense of this place is a good and playful area for dogs and their owners. I think it is better to have one kind of furniture to make this place be more playful and more practical for both pets and owners. I hope this furniture can provide seating place for owners in the middle of the field and create some activities for pets. In my design, by using the combination of benches, the owners can sit down to have a talk with each other at the same time they can observe their pets in any directions. The different levels of benches allow residents can use these as chairs or tables. So it also allows families to have a picnic or other activities require tables. Moreover, owners can use these different levels of benches to treat or play with their pets. For the components, each component has standard dimension and the size of the furniture is changeable because each component could be combined together. On another hand, the benches would be made of wood like the typical style of sfa products. And the support and legs would be steel.

General Plan For Project 3

For this project, I choose the crown park locates in city toyota in waterloo. This park is surrounded with new apartment buildings. It is a modern apartment zone. Most of the residents are young and middle-aged couples and students. Crown Park is one of the great community spaces that includes:Grass lawns,Seating areas, Water features.Residents can also walk their dogs there, as Crown Park is an off-leash area at all times. After the field research, it was found that there are many people let their dogs play in this park. However, almost of the dogs' owners standing in the middle of the grass area in order to keep an eye on their pets. All the chairs locate at the edges of the park and no pet owners would use these. As the sense of this place is a good and playful area for dogs and their owners. I think it is better to have a modern furniture to make this place be more playful and more practical for both pets and owners. I hope this furniture can provide seating place for owners in the middle of the field and create some activities for pets. As shown below, there are three general plans. By using this combination of benches, the owners can sit down to have a talk with each other at the same time they can observe their pets in any directions.

SIMILAR MATERIAL AND STYLE PRODUCT(due to the plans are sketchup images, so I show the product that has similar material and manufactural process)

For the edges of the final benches, they would have round edges like the seat shown upward in oder to avoid children getting injured by sharp edges.
