Final Ideation Concept Development

After many hours of research and concept development surrounding the relationship of foodtrucks with the physical environment of the city I've arrived at a more refined design direction. By combining foodtrucks with parklets, which work to reclaim some of the city streets from cars to create small public spaces, the foodtruck experience is enhanced by providing customers with an outdoor seating area. A symbiotic relationship between the foodtruck and parklet is created, allowing both to thrive in combination with each other while working to enhance the general cityscape. 

By using vegetation a dynamic awning is created that changes with the seasons to provide optimal shade levels transitioning to spring to summer and back to fall again.

Creating a unified aesthetic for the parklet, street benches and waste disposal systems ensures that the parklet is blended into the permanent streetscape, asserting the presence of foodtrucks in the urban setting.  

Now that the main aspects of the design have been outlined, more refinement will occur to detail the final design and it ensure it is as user-friend and safe as possible.
