CulturalAudit™ for Hubbard Homestead Park
Video: Hubbard Homestead Park CulturalAudit™
The Homestead Hubbard Park design team conducted a CulturalAudit™ in order to solicit input from individuals in the local community that are likely to visit the park but are either unaware of or unable to attend community meetings and other traditional input venues. Together with community meetings, input from the Project Advisory Team (PAT), Seattle Parks and Recreation, and additional City of Seattle Departments, the CulturalAudit™ attempts to collect diverse community input from a broad constituency and helps to form a more inclusive picture of the community.
The CulturalAudit™ included a number of interactions that were documented through still images and voice recordings. These included:
- Scheduled interviews at adjacent senior residential communities, local businesses and schools.
- On-site “intercept interviews” in the Northgate Mall area, Target, Northgate Community Center, bus stops, businesses, adjacent apartment complexes and the surrounding neighborhood.
- One classroom workshop where fourth and seventh graders discussed and diagrammed how a green, public gathering space might look, feel and serve their needs.
