Week Eleven: Building and Masterplanning Concepts

Proposed Greenways: Allowone lane of traffic for limited cars and cyclists, the rest is reclaimed as greenspace.
Proposed Linkages: The new development will create a connection between King George Square and Brisbane Square public spaces, increasing the flow of pedestrians between these two points. Directory devices will also be included on the Ground level of my building to aid the navigation of users (including tourists) between these two places.
The site will become a linking device between the 2 major public spaces surrounding the Queen St site.
The directional cut through the building aids and dictates pedestrain movement through the site.
Pulling the site in on the Adelaide St frontage to allow for a small public interface.
Pushing the site outwards towards the exciting views of Burnett Lane.
Public gathering spaces at each street frontage point will create interfaces that communicate with the street, drawing users inside the site.

The ground floor will have an aspect of transparency to invite users into the site and allow easy pedestrian cross-flow between Adelaide St and Burnett Lane

The two buildings should be connected in some way to integrate the functions and create one building.
