People are constantly moving through the plaza, bikes and pedestrians. Pedestrians seem to stick to the side-walks but bikes move freely, the side-walks are a little narrow and make cycling next to people a little too close for comfort.All movers are skirting around trees and people sitting in the plaza, mostly trying to stay in the sun.
Flow of traffic in the plaza is predictable with elements of chaos, but there's enough space to accommodate. WITHIN the plaza in its own traffic microcosm is Krishna Lunch, which creates its own system and flow that capitalizes on the one that already exists in the plaza.
Located between the bike-path and the sidewalk, the food line form. You pay money, get your plate and get your plate filled in increments.
By the time the line ends, your at a nexus of two sidewalks and you make a U-turn to get your drink, this also sends you by the napkins, salt, forks etc. All very organic.
To cut down on lines there is an additional food serving spot for refills. The lines all flow naturally with the existing traffic in the plaza.
Our project suffered because our method of connecting the sensor to the neck was ineffective, and the LED display looked like it was measuring rather than reminding. I think the only way to solve the neck connection problem would be a different sensor.
But the LEDs just needed to be a softer color, and maybe pulsed uniformly.
