Helpful feedback was collected during the second YAP workshop
Members of the Youth Advisory Panel are pictured here at the second workshop event, which took place in December 2024. Attendees assisted the design team with the selection of proposed materials for use on new features at Downshire Field.
The participants' hard work was rewarded at the end of the session with pizza and drinks.
Choosing materials from the designers' palette
Youth Advisory Panel members were asked to review a selection of different materials that could be used on totem poles located in Downshire Field. They were asked to consider the different textures, colours and patterns available for this purpose.
Explaining the rationale behind their choices
To help explain the material choices they had made, the YAP members were asked to write down what feelings and emotions the various colours and textures inspired.
Comments included "powerful", "agile" and "evolving".
