Map

I chose to sit in Auditorium Park, that is the area of benches arranged in a circle around the gator statue next to the University Auditorium.

This space works because it's very easy to navigate through as seen in the map below.




It consists of a brick pavement oriented in a large circle with a large center piece: another circular structure with an alligator statue on top. This is a highly trafficked area because it is in a convenient location and has six separate sidewalks leading to it.

The gator center piece is very interesting to look at as you walk past and it makes the space look more appealing but it is an obstacle that people have to walk around.

The space does work for everyone. Even those with disabilities would very easily navigate through it.

Probably the biggest problem with the project was that the speakers weren't outputing the audio loud enough. Some people pressed on it and didn't hear the intended result so they gave up and walked away without having any idea what the concept was. This could easily be solved by putting some more powerful speakers on the piece or by setting it up with some sort of amplifier.
