Inspiration for King's Quarter design

 Chester City Centre Design:

A pretty plain, open area proposed for Chester, with focus on the building design/architecture.

The paving in this part of Chester compliments the colours of the buildings and leads you towards the statement buildings.

Birmingham Proposed Jewelry Quarter Design:

This has a European feel to it, as if it was designed for a hotter climate where shops and restaurants open way into the night. I find the fairy lights create a calm atmosphere which compliments the vegetation. The mixed use of paving adds another dimension to the area.

Barcelona City Centre Design:

The use of vegetation here is extremely effective. It creates a burst of colour in a sea of cement greys and beiges.

Amsterdam City Design:This urban park area near the river is a decent size open space where visitors can sit. It could also be used by skateboarders, and also children to play around. The vegetation creates shade spots for people to sit under on a particularly hot day, however there is also room in the sun for sunbathers or picnickers. The marque could double as a music stand for performers to stand under.

This is a park in the centre of Amsterdam. The mounds could be used by skateboarders or bmx bikers however I am unsure how much fun they would be to children just wanting to play.
