Concepts & Renders

in short

010 Trickz is an urban sports facilitation where I also practiced. In 2015 it changed location and needed a new design. Together with a friend and fellow student, we helped making a design for the new location in Hoogvliet. In this design we tried to apply our observations from the different sports to optimize its usability. It was all about making up a good balance between the different sports. We also gave ourselves the challenge of merging the different attributes and allocation of them in such a way that the sporters would inspire each other.

Inspiration & Exploration

Since this was one of my first projects in urban design I did not have much experience in doing research. Though, the advantage we had was that we were part of the user group and that we were really close to the other users. The first ideas were made by sketching in top view to explore the main layout of the gym. Early in the process we started using 3D to quickly explore different options. Per sport we explored different paths of interaction and moves.

Ready for Construction

All together we finally came up with a good concept. The last challenge was to make the design clean so that we could translate it into construction drawings. I also used this project to learn more about 3D rendering to use as a tool for communication concepts. In this process I learned about lighting, materials & composition.

Ready and Set

During the build of the gym we made some changes like accessibility of areas and walking routes. Since we had little experience the whole process of concept to reality was very educational and fun!
