Discuss the meaning of your place to the city of Denver (Pepsi Center).

Finally, a discussion that finds similarities and differences between your place andother places like it. If you were in that place without knowing how you got there,would you know you are in Denver? How it is localized to Denver?3. MovementWhat people and things are moving through the space of your place? For this part,you will spend about an hour at your place observing the types of people going inand out of your place. Be sure to make careful observations and document thefollowing:●When and how long were you there?●Include things like:oAge rangeoGenderoActivities (Drinking coffee, being a tourist, working on a laptop,shopping for something specific or browsing, tourists or locals, etc.)●Describe the atmosphere that day.●Basic statistics (How many people did you observe)?●Break up into the categories and give the specific statistics you observed(How many men vs. women? How many children? How many people youobserved bought something?)●Did you observe anything out of the ordinary that day? If so, describe it indetail. If not, describe one person you may characterize as a “typical” personthere that day.●Are people utilizing the space for the purpose that it is intended or are theycreating their own meaning for that place?●What conclusions can you draw about the “average” or “typical” person whogoes to this place?4. Making of a PlaceFor this part, you will want to make sure you look at the website for the Project forPublic Spaces (pps.org). This website has a lot of information about what makespublic (or any) spaces good places to create community. What are the physicalcharacteristics that “make” this place conducive to what it is and what it does? If ithelps, you may use the 7 S’s characterized below to analyze the physical space basedon the following criteria:●Site—where it is and how appropriate the place is for that space●Scale—how large/small it is and how appropriate the size●Shape—how is the shape conducive to what the place is meant to convey●Symbol—is there anything symbolic there?●Seating—what types (if any) of seating options does it have?●Stuff—is there any “stuff” there?●Softness—how “green” is the place?Of course, this section does not need to focus entirely on the 7 S’s; you can just usethem as a guideline to talk about how the place has been constructed to create (ornot create if that is the case) a sense of community.5. Nature-CultureNature-Culture refers to a variety of ways that humans and the environment interactwith one another. To be clear, it does not only refer to the ways that a place ishurting or protecting the environment. Far from that, this is a complex relationshipwhere humans and the landscape and all that sits on it have an iterative,back-and-forth relationship that helps to define the ways places are used.The interaction goes two ways in that the natural environment affects humans’ wayof life, and these ways of life, in turn, affect the natural environment. The landscapeof many Asian countries has been changed to include terraced paddies for growingrice. At the same time, generations of farmers have grown rice in these paddies as aresult of having the right landscape and environment for growing rice. In an urbanarea, the landscape of a city neighborhood can be constructed in a way that attractsyoung professionals (river walks, green spaces, public transportation), while youngprofessionals may demand certain things they must have in a neighborhood.The goal of this part of the project is to identify how the landscape and peoplemoving amongst and through your place impact and affect one another. In an urbanenvironment, such as Denver, the major complication is that an urban environmentcomes with its fair share of urban environmental issues.
