site issues.




As mentioned in the last post, we were asked to select specific site issues that we wished to address in our design.  Firstly, a mobility analysis of the surrounding area demonstrates that the site is very static, especially in contrast to the several networks of vehicular, cyclist, pedestrian and river movement that occurs all around it. I also wanted to highlight the fact that the two main natural features of the site, the cliff and the river, are very disconnected influences due to their differences in height and aesthetic. Further, the site is narrow, forming negative space that people tend to only move through. It is therefore necessary to position a positive, dwelling space on the site where people will feel safe and will desire to congregate in.
