17、SSAGE FROM THE DESIGN TEAMIn honor of the proud citizens of San Jos,WRT has created a park unlike any other.You asked us to be bold and in response we have dreamt up a park that is entirely new yet comfortably familiar.The park brims with attention to craft and detail;from the richness inherent in b

22、favorite destination for the residents of San Jos.89WRT|St.James Park Design CompetitionThe first step in creating One Park is reclaiming the center.Realigning the light rail opens the park to larger gathering spaces in the center and more flexible spaces throughout the park.In order for St.James Pa

24、lowed for a flexible central gathering space for neighbors,visitors,and the city as a whole to gather.While current programming such as yoga in the park and poetry readings will continue to serve park users,reclaiming the center of St.James Park allows for larger scale events like concerts in the Le

37、 CompetitionACTIVATE A PLACE FOR EVERYONE:FLEXIBLE AND DIVERSE PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIESTo maintain a high level of activity in the park,it must become an attraction for local neighbors as well as residents from throughout the region.Facilities should be flexible enough to serve both audiences.For
38、example,the Levitt Pavilion will become a premier venue for music lovers.However programming is seasonal and gaps will naturally occur in the regular schedule.The pavilion must also serve other functions such as movies,World Cup Soccer,and markets and the space be designed to support a full range of
39、 everyday functions such as yoga and boot camps.Park features should tap into the energy and passions of the maximum number of people.Gardens,history walks,playgrounds,cafes,and fields are prime attractors and sources of activation.Food Trucks+PerformacesSalsa in the ParkSoccer in Slow MotionAfter W
