My project is designed to serve individuals with various degrees of limited walking ability.\u00a0 It is intended that those who normally may use a wheelchair or other walking aid may be able to move throughout the \u00a0the garden with the option to sit or kneel anywhere on the moving surface (Iteration 1) or the assistance of frequent support posts to lean on (Iteration 2).<\/p>\n

The execution of my iterations are based on my experiences assisting my grandmother (who used a wheelchair) on a daily basis as well as Passengers with Reduced Mobility while working at YVR Airport.\u00a0 I noticed that my grandmother often preferred to move along the floor rather than stand and move in and out of chair and different furniture.\u00a0 This was enabled by the Japanese-style rooms in her house which feature low furniture and soft, comfortable surfaces for sitting on.\u00a0 Iteration 1 is an attempt to adapt this type of space to an outdoor setting.<\/p>\n

Similarly, the rehabilitation activities prescribed by her doctor involved walking while holding on to rails for support.\u00a0 Iteration 2 uses the principle of walking supports situated along the transportation path, but uses posts with handles rather than rails, which allow the visitor to move in any direction rather than being vectored along a single path.<\/p>\n
