JL-North Park
The
visit to North Park proved to be quite opposite to the previous adventure at
Horton Plaza. In my opinion, the
section of North Park we explored optimizes what the main street of a
neighborhood should encompass. For
one thing there seems to be a tremendous pride in the town. The neighborhoods insignia is plastered
everyway, you know that you are in North Park everywhere you go.
Two
distinct styles became apparent to me, the tile work on many of the facades,
although not exactly the same, the language reads throughout most of the
downtown area. The murals and art
around the town are incredibly noticeable too. All the street art creates an aura in the town that screams
craftsmanship to me. I felt like I
was in a creative environment while walking around.
I
think what this style does for the neighborhood is create a specific type of
community. It becomes a place that
thrives on culture, style, and creativity, and draws like minds into the
area. You get the sense that
information displayed or given in the area isn’t specifically planned or
sanctioned, but the residents are ok with that. After some time spent, patterns began to emerge to me as
well. I noticed several murals
done by the same artist, some more subtle than others, but a consistent mixing
of patterns by many artists and craftsmen.
Speaking
to our discussion of the readings, and our approach to the design of our
display, I think as a group we started at a very good place. The idea of weighted fabric that is
easy to move and create different spaces is fantastic. If we can create an adaptable, unique
space for gathering and displaying information, that shows off the language we
develop, it should be a successful project.
