A m a k e r s p a c e i s . . ....a variety within a unity of individuals who are bonded together by their passion to bring tangible shape and form to their ideas. It should be a welcoming place, with a ‘doors-open’ policy allowing neighbourhood residents, nearby employees, commuters and passerbys to shed layers of conceitto allow oneself to be vulnerable learners, experimenters and creators. There should be no heirarchy and should simply be a context for a maker to create meaning and orientation in one’s day and life. It is about enabling oppor-tunity by providing people to access their creative potential by providingthe resources to indulge in opportunity that would otherwise be obsolete. It is a a pattern that is only efficient upon these fundamental attitudes and goals. Located on the bridge of the industrial sanctuary and a residgential neigh-bourhood, it must be a space that is considerate of both uniquely and coherently.
The attachement quality that I believe is important to consider, although subje-cive, is to create an envrionment that inspires the variety of individuals who occupy the neighbourhood. It must be have a level of intrigue which inspires the inovator within the businessman, or the entrepreneur, the teenager or housewife. Due to the amount of diversity and the future developments in the SE quadrant, this makerspace must first suceed at inviting all in to explore the unknown of creativity.
I n d i c a t o r s . . .My two indicators that I analyzed were the level of traffic, which includes human and vehicles and the amount of good vibes I felt in a particular area. These two indicators were measured in order to gather an understanding of the amount of people in the area, if the makerspace could naturally market itself and how the existing environment felt, influencing how the makerspace could improve the areas that lacked any will to linger.
