The value of these patterns is that it has a big influence on the experience someone has when visiting and walking through a place. Do the visitors have something to look at? Do they have to walk through grass because this will save them time? Do the paths take you everywhere you need to go? How do the paths fit in with its surroundings? There is a lot to think about and a lot you can reach with paths. There are endless possibilities. In my design I wanted to have a natural flowing path that reached every location on the square. first choosing where I wanted a location for example a terrace and then another location and then looking at how the paths were best shaped between these two. Making sure people were walking in a straight line and not losing time. Preventing them from straying from the path. Also keeping in mind where the paths pass and If I would like a path past my bench for example causing people to constantly pass me. I tried to keep the paths out of big green spaces. But when needed had no problem doing so because  after looking and learning about human behavior it is clear if it takes too much time to walk somewhere following a path people take shortcuts. And this will take from the experience of walking on a nice path. Also looking at the patterns"make a buldge in the middle of the path, and make the ends narrower, so that the path forms an enclosure which is a place to stay, not just a place to pass through." This you can see in the picture left. It is still a part of the path but it is not just a place to pass through, you could really sit here and relax. I made use of every single point I mentioned in the pattern intro on this page. I thought it was a very interesting and educational pattern that was very important for my design and tying everything together. But most importantly about peoples experience of the path.
