Closer Analysis of Site Movement and Action

Now were looking at a closer scale to really understand the movement and action which is either current or desired in the future.




First of all we can see the area identified by the visibility analysis as our preferred building zone and the original folie in the bottom left.




As the building zone is situated on the current car park, a separate car park is obviously needed and is therefore placed in a less visible part of the site.



Vehicular access, shown in red, is a key type of action and access will be required to the building, car park and existing wharf buildings.


As identified within the folie design, there is a significant exercise route, shown in yellow, which runs through the site connecting the Botanical gardens and the New Farm Riverwalk.


The introduction of a city cat terminal brings new movement and point of arrival, as shown in blue.


Finally, we see regular pedestrian movement with 2 current entry points and 2 desired connections in the river walk and down the cliffside. By introducing these two new entry points connection is increased effectively which is a key concept of the design.


Looking at all of these types of action and movement together shows the need for careful planning to ensure safety and functionality of each is retained and or enhanced.
