I went to Station Park for my field study. During this experience, I noticed things like the structural content of space within a location of a city/community. Also, I noticed patterns, patterns in store location, Pattern of people, the different regions, boundaries, the cultural landscape, and much more.
I did a four-level analysis to figure out patterns and to see the impacts that these patterns have on Station Park. Level 1 is what, where, when? Station Park is a lifestyle mall in Farmington Utah. Level 2 was Patterns, some of the patterns that I found was most of the more visited stores are near the food court/threshold of Station Park. I also noticed that the higher-class restaurants are center of the outlet, as for the lower class like fast foods are on the outside. I think this is because of service economy. Level 3 is why there?

Most shopping outlets center around the food courts, and I think Station Park was wanting to do the same. Since the opening of Station Park, it has been expanding and many restaurants have had to start being placing on the outside or the market area. …show more content…

The outlets are also right next to a highway which is good that its able to be accessed easily since many have cars. Around these outlets, they have started to build apartment complexes. I went online to see the range of the price, and the retail prices range from $910-$1,615; which is reasonable price since it’s so close to the outlet. One of the units is just for Harmons Grocery Store, I think this is placelessness since its sort of
