Week 7 - Re-Mapping

Remapping the site

Mapping the area psycho-graphicaly did not give enough information to move onto project 2. Further analysis was needed in order to identify problems and generate solutions.

Re-analysing the site 

The heavy red lines show the greatest vantage points of the site. In terms of scale they are the highest points and largest in size (Story Bridge and the Cliffs)

Circles show the hot spots around the area.

It's important to highlight that to the right of the bridge is the Petrie Point Apartments. The majority of the hotspots surround this residential area.
venues include: Grill'd, Tuckeria Fresh Mexican, Video Ezy, The Coffee Club, Bravo Bar B Que, Blockbusters, Phillip Bacon Galleries, Sebastian Studios ART101 and Bluetongue Backpackers & Tours ~ just to name a few.

Access shows that there are very specific routes to use. Especially to the Howard Smiths Wharves. The route closest to Story Bridge shows where traffic is most condensed.

Black Arrows show potential entrypoints to the general buildable area.

Digital version of the site analysis

The hot spots provide a great foundation in understanding how the functions in the area and gives an idea of where people gravitate to.

Logically it would be ideal to build close to the hot spots however it is a very dense area and access around the area is not flexible.

 Proposed site for Learning Center

Not far from the cluster of hot spots is an existed public park, carpeted in grass and a few benches; providing the perfect build-able extension to the building which will be fitted against the cliffs.
