Beyond basic safety upgrades from UK Documents K and M, it responds to different bodies, ages, and behaviours. Echoing SANAA\u2019s \u201cloose script\u201d and board-game-like rules, the park does not prescribe one correct route; instead, users complete the space through movement, pause, gaze, and deviation.<br>Through VR, eye-tracking, and fire-smoke testing, these behaviours become design feedback, adjusting colour, texture, geometry, slope, material surface, and visual cues. The Egg Park is therefore not a finished object, but a pluralistic spatial system continuously activated, tested, and completed by its users.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1204124211?badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479&amp;autoplay=1&amp;loop=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"01loop model\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><br><strong>Robot (Finci) and Model<\/strong><br>The egg robot translated 2D maps and plans onto the curved shell, using distortion as a design tool.
