dc.description.abstract | This study focused on evaluating how Sasaki has implemented the design goals for the Chicago Riverwalk mainly from social and ecological perspectives. The Chicago Riverwalk is composed of six blocks. In order to establish new connections to the river and enrich people’s life, each block was designed to provide diverse programs through changes in its shape and form. The Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) was conducted by mixed methods, including on-site survey, observation, expert interview and river sediment. The results indicate that goals in the theme of recreational and cultural were achieved very well. Goals in the theme of ecological may not be achieved as expected; however, people’s perception of ecological environment especially the aesthetics of the terrestrial and floating wetland vegetation design was good. Finally, shortcomings of the design relative to the design goals and recommendation for future post-occupancy evaluation project are discussed. | en_US |
