3.0 Site Guidelines

SITE GUIDELINES

The following chapter proposes a set of design guidelines that respond to the direct wants and needs of the community (Refer to 3.1 Summary of Wants and Needs). They should be considered in future design work by all parties involved. The guidelines can serve as a general model for designing for a community you are not a part of. These

guidelines serve as a starting point, and the community and MST have veto power

and the ability to make changes to said guidelines.

The authors have carefully considered questions such as ‘what is ours to design?’ and ‘how can we design for a community we are not a part of?’ Within the guidelines, text may be accompanied by what the authors call ‘design prototypes.’ A design prototype is only provided if it has been designated as something the authors felt they could design. The prototype is one way the authors envision the application of a guideline being pursued in a design intervention. There may be a ‘precedent’ where there is no prototype accompanying a guideline. A precedent, in this case, is an example of a previously completed work by another designer or artist. The precedent is an example of a design intervention that the authors felt was not their place to propose a design. The precedents intentionally feature (where possible) local and/or BIPOC designers and artists that can be consulted or commissioned for this work.
