What If I Could Make A DIVERSIFIED POS POSsible!?

The Magnet

What if the POS could stay lively hustle and bustle throughout the year?

The Mediator

What if I could organise events that are tailored to the needs of the community?

The Regular

What if I could experience something new every time I visit the POS?

From “Good” to “Desirable”

How might we accommodate different activities?

Create clear circulation and boundaries.

In addition to footpaths, consider differentiating exercise trails into jogging paths and bicycle lanes. This opens up different ways to use and move around the POS.
Utilise dividers and separators to strengthen the boundaries between different activity zones. Movable dividers and separators can temporarily create partitioned zones to create additional activity space.

Early coordination with the Sage.

With years of management experience, the Sage may pay much attention to POS usage and maintenance. You may find it helpful to use Design Thinking Tools “Topic Cards” or “Innovation Readiness Assessment” to facilitate discussions with the Sage.

This Design Parameter may not apply to Sitting-Out Areas due to their small size.

How might we attract different users throughout the year?

Organise free, recurring and festive events.

These events can be scheduled on a seasonal basis to coincide with school holidays and festival celebrations or even take inspiration from thematic installations to attract non-regular users to return frequently to the POS.

How might we create a variety of experiences and happenings?

Empower users to enjoy the POS in their own ways.

Collaborate with local artists and long-standing local businesses to host pop-up programmes, such as flea markets and taster programmes. These programmes can open up opportunities to experiment with new design interventions, prototypes, and even technologies.

Allocate time for regular reviews in the management schedule of the POS.

Allow sufficient time between regular programmes and events to try out new ideas.

Invite users to join regular reviews and provide feedback.

Their first-hand experience at the POS offers insights on their expectations and aspirations for new happenings and provisions in the POS.
You may find it helpful to use Design Thinking Tools “Topic Cards” or “Resource Cards” & “Task Cards” to facilitate discussions with relevant stakeholders.
