4 San Jose Historic District Historic District has the highest concentration of historic buildings in San Jose. As a result, it has good examples of different periods of Growth in the American CIty Street Pattern has remained almost unaltered into today. Based on traditional spanish pathways, surveyed in 1847 and

14 Initial Concepts (List) Initial Concept List Josh Polido: DSID Team X Initial Concept List & Research White Picket Fence with tables for sitting and eating Canopy of lights Dividing Benches between parking lot and alley Seating with Business signs Urinals that convert Urine to Energy Birdhouses Inside Archeways Garden with Painted cages Colored Benches to cover Pipes and other messy areas Illuminated Archway Lawn games with Seating Tables with Umbrellas Floating Gardens overhead Wall of Recycled Bottles with LEDs Root Mural on Ground with Technology Benches Benches and Tables of recycled Materials Garbage Bag Bean Bag Chair Floating Seats above gardens or lighting Street Mural with BIke Lane and Bike seating Exercise and Stretching Station Solar leaf Lamps Glow paint in trees or on ground Audrey Yik: Audrey Yik Tyler Bickel Josh Polido a. Downtown Seating i. Playground seating (people can play and sit) ii. Gardening seating with educational purpose (native plants with information) iii. Modular seating that the public can build and move around to create different spaces iv. Blackboard drawing space with seatings v. Circular resting areas that integrate with small fountains and plantings b. Mobile Solar Hubs/ Lighting i. Shelter reading areas with seating and charging hub (including lighting) ii. Growing lighting floor, people can step on it to create lighting patterns iii. Fitness cycling facility (with solar panel) that can also charge mobiles / provide power for lighting at night iv. Artistic solar shelter charging hub with sharing/ conversation areas v. Wall lighting system that allows users to control its pattern and color c. Curbside gardens/ baskets/ birdhouses i. Hanging birdhouses decoration with small planters ii. Wall planners with designed patterns iii. A small puzzle garden with seatings iv. Small fountain garden design based on fountain alley s history (fountains for horses) promoting Slow Life in the busy downtown v. Column bird houses with seating d. Parklets/ downtown stages i. Growing lighting stage with seating ii. Tunnel shelter stage iii. Parking facility for bikes/ skate boards with social seating area that can transform to a stage iv. Drawing stage for both public and artists (blackboard or graffiti area?) v. Stage for lightning show Tyler Bickel: e. Downtown Seating i. Moveable block system attached to grid allowing for different seating configurations or use cases ii. Large flowers or similar organic looking public furniture to break from the city aesthetics iii. Seating area made from the letters for San Jose (think: old California Adventure entrance) iv. Large hammock-style chill-out chill-out seating for staying for a while v. Seating that lights up from the bottom and sides to change the floor colors vi. Furniture that mimics the local notable restaurants (i.e. Cream s ice cream sandwich chairs) vii. Small cafe-type gazebos that can also charge your phone as you have a conversation 13

15 Ideation f. Mobile Solar Hubs/ Lighting i. Light-up floor bricks which indicate charging are as well as illuminate the road for safety ii. Public exercise equipment doubling as charge station batteries iii. Charging station connects to a game that takes place on the smartphone as well as large-scale (augmented?) within the alleyways iv. Charging stations that pair people that will be charging their phones for a similar period of time 1. Could be connected to an app and filters or whatever for snapchat 2. Could suggest a conversation topic for strangers 3. Could group people in a way to encourage games v. Charging pods that flip down for lounging vi. Charging lockers for anti theft g. Curbside gardens/ baskets/ birdhouses i. Communication to other areas of the city (mimicking the talking tubes found at children s playgrounds) ii. Large water feature that symbolizes the horse drinking spot (thinking: Louis I. Kahn style straight line) iii. Miniature concrete model of the city that can be walked through (Godzilla style) iv. Very large tree planters that make the space more organic and direct the passerby to the tenants in the area v. Reactive objects (i.e. the lightposts) that react to people walking through the alley 1. Music, lighting, phycical movement or projected visuals 2. Cound use something like Xbox kinect placed high above 3. Sensors hidden in certain objects that respond when passed vi. Creating a hilly environment that the passerby can trek over vii. Wall garden that covers the entirety of the walls on the tenant side 1. Could utilize the building run-off 2. Could spell out something like San Jose or Fountain Alley 3. h. Parklets/ downtown stages i. Large community games 1. Giant Cornhole 2. Big Tilt Game that spans the entire wall 3. Mini Golf course ii. Large mushrooms or other objects that you can enter in order to have a conversation or meet new people iii. Panels overhead that react to the wind and add movement to the space 14

25 Narrowed Down Concepts 24

26 Result Research showed that Fountain Alley is an area in the heart of downtown San Jose in dire need of activation. It is the location of many negative activities including Drug Deals and Homicides. Following the lead of other areas in San Jose that have undergone a public activation, we began to ideate, searching for ideas that we could present to the community. 25

35 Result These sketches represent the results culled from our previous 50 ideas. We picked interesting ideas from those and continued to define what the community would be interested in at Fountain Alley. All these sketches were brought to the Co-Design workshop, and helped community members generate their own ideas for Fountain Alley. 34

36 Co-Design Workshop 35

37 Community members chose sketches and came up with their own ideas for Fountain Alley. The top 5 pictures show their ideas, and we continued to develop these ideas. 36

42 Result Based on these sketches, we picked 5 concepts that most re ected the community s wants, including the mushroom seating, Noodle chair, sliding seats, Hammock and SJFA rocking chair. We used these sketches as our inspiration to created 5 full size mock ups and test the size, aesthetic, and scale of our ideas at Fountain Alley. 41

43 Refine Sketches 42

44 Initial Mock up The community ended up really liking our sliding chairs because they encourage communication and interaction among people. They also like the functionality of the design, because it makes the chair easy to clean, easy to take care of, and prevents vandalism. 43

45 Phase 3 Refine and Build 44

46 Prototype to CAD We tried a visualizing our prottype as if it were in Fountain Alley. We picked some interesting ideas from those, and continued to define what the community would be interested at to put at Fountain Alley. All these sketches were brought to the Co- Design workshop, and helped community members to generate their own ideas for Fountain Alley. 45

53 Result The physical mockup helped us realize that the corners of the half circle shape were too sharp, even at 1/4 scale. The decision was made to include gradually increasing fillets to address this ergonomic issue. 52

59 Creating these full scale mockups helped the team come to a decision about the thickness of the slots. We put in to consideration the visual apeal and comfortability of both 0.5 and 1 slots, as well as the optimal distance between each piece. 58

62 Phase 4 Final Design 61

63 Final Presentation We presented our final model to the community at Fountain Alley. We had some very good feedback from the community, such as making slightly different shapes for the chairs, and making the chair able to rock. 62
