Team Design Brief:
Design a replacement beach front walkway for the Avon Beach that has features preventing destruction during a category 5 hurricane. Design a system that will provide an off-grid power source for the walkway's electrical needs including public facilities necessary for a summer day at the beach .
__________________________________________________________________________
Design and develop all superstructures located on the new Avon walkway to provide users with necessary restroom facilities, and the town of Avon with a source of income. Structures will be placed anywhere stretching from Washington Ave. to Norwood Ave and including but not limited to: lighting, railings, structures to provide shade, benches, a first aid station, a beach pass vendor, and public facilities capable of accommodating no fewer than 40 visitors at a time during the months of May to September.
