What Does This Site Offer?

In order to work out what experience I want the user to have, I need to see what the site can offer in a way of providing an experience.

Thoroughfare

With the incorporation of the River-walk, this site becomes a widely used passageway for runners, joggers and walkers. Therefore it holds the option to provide a unique experience for these users that is different to the way they are using it now.

Floods

When the January Floods hit, they completely covered this site and it is currently under reconstruction. This allows the option of commemerating the floods somehow, or communicating the floods for years to come. As an experience it would be possible to show what it would be like to be in the floods.

Photography

Due to the location of the site, it provides an option to take many photos. You can have photos of the city, of the river, of the bridge, of new farm or of the cliffs. Overall it is a very photogenic site. Therefore an experience can be a place from which to take photos.

Other Options

While these previous options are site specific, there are numerous experiences which are fairly generic. These can include a place to eat, rest, read and meet. However, in my option, these opportunities are slightly safe, so if I was to choose one as my overall experience, it would have to be taken further to become truely unique.
