This world as a collection has been developing ever since the beginning of its existence. Architecture in particular however is a very significant component that plays a huge role in construction in the modern world today due to the exponentially high demands for all sorts of structures. Architecture can also be split into multiple parts and pieces of components such as themes, styles and design techniques. Currently modern architecture tend to be the more popular styles of architecture as they fit well in the time period whilst also looking aesthetically pleasing due to their versatility of working in conjunction with the surrounding environmentutilising strong colour schemes.

Therefore, in this project my goal is to improve the state of a local park, Hylands Park, through the aesthetics, functions and the fun that can be obtained from the experience. As of now, Hylands Park is primarily based on the theme of 'fitness and wellbeing'. Another nearby park, Harrow Lodge Park, is also primarily focused on the theme of fitness and wellbeing. This is quite the problem as sharing the same theme can cause some 'competition' to be created between the two parks. I personally believe this competition is a bad thing as Harrow Lodge Park executes their theme of 'fitness and wellbeing' much more efficiently and effectively due to more higher quality indoor sports facilities and equipment. To resolve this predicament, I will shift Hylands Park's theme away from just strictly 'fitness and wellbeing' to the field of entertainment.

In addition to the theme issues stated about Hylands Park, there are also a few issues I want to state about the appearanceof the park. In my final design I would like to strengthen Hylands Park's 'nature and organic' theme. This is because this nature-based theme is what makes Hylands Park very unique in comparison to other nearby parks such as Harrow Lodge Park which has been decayed away to modernism. Finally, the park does have physical issues which consists of there being no toilets, no sort of structure to connect the community or a way to purchase food, drinks and souvenirs.

Therefore, to conclude in this project I will create a café which will act as a way to connect the community in the park with a built-in cinema that will enhance this idea.
