Location of My Kiosk

  As the heart of Nottingham, Old Market Square is the largest public area in city. Thousands of people flow into and out of this square every day.Some people pass straight through whereas others regard it as a meeting,eating,playing and seating place. Many bus or tram stations and shops around the square.
  The map of the square (from Google):


  Through the photos I took,I build the model of the square's terrain. This square has some slopes which is convenient for the old and the disabled. People prefer to have rest around the pink area.

  Then, I marked the flat area by blue dotted lines and divided the square into 5 parts(A, B, C, D and E). Every part has its own character.


A: 1.It is next to the biggest resting place, which means many people may want to buy some food and drink from the nearby cafe. 2.It is next to the fountain, and most children prefer to play the water.For parents, they can seat in the nearby cafe and watch their children.Besides, there are also many people choose the fountain as a resting place. 3.And there is a long slope which is convenient for the disabled and  parents who push baby carriages. 4.It is not very crowded,therefore; it is safe for children.

B: a large number of people, particularly the shoppers, enter square through this place. Sometimes, it is over-crowded.

C: walkers usually go through this entrance, then they go across the road.

D: it is next to the fountain, resting place and tram or bus stations.It means there is a plenty of flow of people. It is busy and may have the potential chaos which is not safe for the children.

E(central area,bright blue): normally, almost stalls gather in that place. This crowded place is not convenient for the parents who pushing the baby carriages.

  Think about the children's nature, safe, other kinds of customers and location of entrances, I decided to put my kiosk in the A.
