What kind of paving material do you use to achieve this colorful pavements outdoors?? I am a landscape architecture grad student working on a project with a colorful walkway and play area and would love some advice on what materials to use to achieve such brilliant color!

  There are so many ways, For soft surfaces best is EPDM (rubber floor) and white lines can be painted in top.
  If you are looking for a more permanent and high end solution it can be done with color stone such as terrazzo for exteriors. But that is expensive.
  Sometimes in other projects we have used just painted concrete. Painted floor with some epoxy painting for floor(like the traffic lines). But that requires some maintenance every year since the colors will slowly fade away.

Neighborhood Intervention

What is a neighborhood intervention?
This is the medium scale type of interventions that take place in the public realm of a city, related to the altering of a portion of a neighborhood. A type of intervention of such magnitude and notoriety that impacts not only the immediate surrounding urban environment, but rather the urban dynamics of a whole neighborhood, becoming an urban landmark and a local attractor of social interactions in a given neighborhood.

Most of the times, this typology combines several intervention tactics such as Painted Scapes and Grounded Objects, intervening existing urban settings, almost from the lens of Landscape Design, by creating spaces of opportunity for collective leisure, entertainment, play & joy, etc., catalyzing major social interactions across the neighborhood.

The main objective of this typology is to trigger a massive public interest to the place through a strong visual impact, usually of a permanent nature, encouraging the rise of high public affluence and establishing an urban landmark that can cultivate important human dynamics and boost commercial activity.

A new typology of open public space, “an urban toy for the city”

Pegasus Trail is a new milestone in the typology of urban public interventions made by 100architects in the Public Realm. In this occasion, the neighborhood-scale intervention landed in the ever-growing city of Chongqing, the 3rd largest city of China and one of the Chinese megacities with greatest growth rates in the past decade.
This project intends to be a new typology of public space, “an urban toy for the city”. Following the studio’s belief that “Play is not only for kids”, 100architects have designed an urban playscape for the city, and for all its citizens, regardless of their age.

Mamsha Beach Waterfront is a master plan proposal in Abu Dhabi, the design of a waterfront promenade in the coastline of Saadiyat Island, a cultural-maritime enclave that counts with the Guggenheim, Louvre & Zayed National Museums of Abu Dhabi. The project consists of the design of a programmatic waterfront promenade, creating not only a walkway along the beach, but rather a promenade fully equipped with outdoor leisure and entertainment facilities all along the way, in order to massively activate the public realm and transform Mamsha Beach into a major public destination within Saadiyat Island.

Mamsha Beach Waterfront is a master plan proposal for Abu Dhabi, the design of a waterfront promenade in the coastline of Saadiyat Island, a cultural-maritime enclave that counts with the Guggenheim, Louvre & Zayed National Museums of Abu Dhabi.

The project consists of the design of a programmatic waterfront promenade, creating not only a walkway along the beach, but rather a promenade fully equipped with outdoor leisure and entertainment facilities all along the way, in order to massively activate the public realm and transform Mamsha Beach into a major public destination within Saadiyat Island.
The master plan design strategy for the waterfront was defined by 3 clear actions:
1. Subdividing the entire length of the beach into smaller and manageable sub-areas, breaking down the project into human-scale sections.
2. Identifying the program of activities and their positioning within each sub-area.
3. Interconnecting all those activities with the pedestrian promenade.
In order to subdivide the 1,500 meters of waterfront promenade into human-scale sections, we created a system of concavities & convexities based on the urban grid of the residential buildings located on the beachfront, resulting in a wavy promenade.

The concavities offer opportunities to create the accesses to the beach and place certain activities on the sand, while the convexities allow a claim for space to the beach, with protruding mini-piers in key areas that establish a system of triangular plazas suitable to allocate bigger groups of entertainment facilities.
Thus the 1,500 m. of Mamsha Beach Waterfront gets subdivided into the following 4 sub-areas:
Zone 1: Active Beach Zone (370 m.)
The most dynamic section of the promenade, more focused of young people, which concentrates most of the sport and fun related facilities, including an Active Triangular Plaza, a Triangular Enchanted Forest, a Sport Platform on the sand and a Wavy Deck.
Zone 2: Watersports Zone (500 m.)
This zone is a balanced area between playful and relaxing, focused on families & kids, which includes water related activities such as the Half Moon Pool, 2 relaxing lounge areas and several kids playgrounds in both sides, the sand and the promenade.
Zone 3: The Pier (500 m)
The waterfront ends up becoming a happening long pier, which hosts all the water sports facilities, short-stay cabanas, a vertical helix park, viewing decks with views over the Guggenheim, sunbathing platforms and large esplanades for big events, performances and shows.
Zone 4: The Private Beach
On the Eastern end of the beach the client envisioned a private beach, meant to be a quiet zone. However, our holistic design approach includes that section of the promenade as a continuation of the same design language, displaying a private lounge pool, a mini-forest with lounge and shading areas, and some other private facilities.

The combination of all the platforms together, arranged along the promenade, makes of this space a major hotspot for social interactions and a model of outdoor leisure lifestyle in the Saadiyat Island, acting as the catalyzer of fun & entertainment activities in Mamsha Beach.

$The Project context Starfish Hub is a massive public realm activation of Saadiyat Marina Village, in the coastline of Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi (UAE), a massive development of new urban areas planned for creating an international attracting landmark for Abu Dhabi. The project consists of 5,000 m2 of pure outdoor leisure, fun and entertainment facilities, strategically concentrated in one single multi-functional plaza, seeking a design solution that would transform the plot into a major public destination within Saadiyat Island. The targeted users are families, children and youngsters seeking a premium destination for spending the day, looking for many different types of entertainment and leisure opportunities, such as water sports, pools, outdoor cinema, concerts & events, commercial spaces as well as dining experiences while enjoying a seaside lifestyle. The Retail street Our first design action was to blend both programs together in only one general proposal and create an eventful retail street that ends in the entertainment space that will act as the attractor and catalyzer of outdoor lifestyle dynamics for the entire activation plot. The Entertainment and Attractor platform. To approach the design of this urban landmark & entertainment space we first studied all the functions and program of activities considered essential and necessary for having an outstanding outdoor lifestyle experience. In that regard, activities were chosen having into consideration all group ages and encompassing all possible interests for young users. The Design We drew inspiration from the starfish commonly found in the Arabian coast. We were inspired by fractals used in arabesque architectural patterns, that when revolving around a central axis, it creates a star-like shape where all the “arms” connect with the center. The 12-pointed Starfish Plaza was conceptually conceived as a radial addition of 12 different programmatic platforms with 12 different functions, concentrically arranged towards a common center, which remains empty as the central plaza to host major events, performances and fairs. The design carefully distinguishes each programmatic platform with its own identity, its own function and even its own monochromatic color palette, in order to make them all eye-catching by themselves and easily recognizable within the system. However, it is the combination of all the platforms together, radially arranged, what makes of this space a major hotspot for social interactions and a model of outdoor leisure lifestyle in the Saadiyat Island. The 12 functions embedded in each of the 12 platforms are such as Outdoor Cinema, Relaxing Pool, Pier Pool, Amphitheater, Chill-out Plaza, Sunken Lounge, Omni-Sport Pitch, Forest Plaza, Hammock Plaza, Tree-House Playground, Picnic Plaza, and finally the Crossing Pedestrian Walkway, which connects the retail street with the beach over the central square. Every functional platform is a component has its own identity and function for a specific user and time of the day. This the project becomes a unique and giant mix use platform of public and entertainment spaces where all leisure activities can be found converging in one single center. The new multi-functional plaza complements the open-air retail street at its end towards the beach, acting as the catalyzer of social entertainment and outdoor activities for the entire plot.$
