The links show how well it fits into the existing or the new ecosystem, not dependant on any other project critically. Rather, the skate-park would add value to the site through revenue, recognition and more site users. The diagram shows an win-win situation with each of the parties with vested interests in the project getting direct gain.

The internal structure is an analogy to evolutionary biology based on response to stimuli. Stimuli tend to initiate the need for a response which goes through a recursive loop to adapt in real-time and respond appropriately. This section will be elaborated in the project phase.

Concept Design - Prototyping

The concept design was a blob of ideas, which had to be refined with logical understanding and experimentation. The prototype phase allowed for that. The conceptual design has been refined through reworking details and connections. Below is a first sketch for a prototype, more than a month ago, and though the project is not there yet, it has reached a critical state of understanding through virtual and physical prototyping, to carry forward the research.

Stages in Prototyping

The prototyping consists of both virtual and physical prototyping, happening simultaneously since they often inform each other. Started with a study of tessellations, to panel the landscape effectively and to allow for movement. The virtual prototyping stage consists of experiments in kinematics, to rethink and tweak the structure based on the laws of physics, as well as testing of various softwares and plugins to allow external stimuli inform the space and structure. The physical prototyping would consist of a scaled dynamic model responding to external stimuli. Both the virtual and physical prototype are on-going phases.
