Open form game. Action-reaction design

The draft design proposal became a tool for reaching out people on the site the ones who already is using site as a public place. It opened up the discussion on the potential of this underused parking lot, letting me to play my interpretation of “Warsaw game” with people who entered the site. They were asked while looking at the proposal to add or take away qualities of proposed public place. After returning home I filtered as architect what has been said and updated the proposal.
