1. SOCIAL CONNECTION
Basically the aim is to connects people from surrounding area to the Howard Smith Wharves site inside this Environmental Education Center. The analysis covers the abstraction of Site - Surrounding connection, Surrounding area, Mobility and Access (how to reach) to the Site.
Conclusion for this analysis:
The site has strategic location which surrounded by 4 main suburbs and City area. The site located close to Brunswick street which one of the street that connects those suburbs. Thus, there is a Brisbane Landmark near the site which is Story Bridge as well a direct route from Kangaroo Point.
HSW Site can be reached by many options of transportation, such as Buz, CityCat, by walking, or self driving.
2. NATURAL & SUSTAINABILITY CONNECTION
Besides Social Connection, Natural & Sustainability Connection are the main qualities of this Environmental Center. It will connects to the natural aspects on the site as well as engaging Passive Design Building (Sustainability) utilizing site condition.
1. Natural Aspects Analysis
There are at least 3 natural aspects on the site which is Plantation (Tress around the cliff), Parkland (Greenery and Cliff) and Water. Those elements are interrelate with each other, forming a natural ambience.
2. Sight Distance Analysis
The view from the site is magnificent! There are 4 views that can be utilized which is view to Kangaroo Point, Story Bridge, Riverside and City. Those views are included with the sky view and river view, gives some sort of wide and spacious feeling especially for outdoor activities.
3. Wind Track Analysis
The main idea for Sustainability is to incorporate Passive Design of building which includes Passive Cooling & Passive Lighting. Wind can gives sense of breeze, thus it is great to be included for outdoor activities.
4. Sun Path Analysis
Although this is classy, but the Sun Path Study gives me an understanding about the amount of light and temperature. Since the building will incorporate Passive Lighting Design, it is important to determine the area that got more or less amount of sun light.
Conclusion for this analysis:
The site has everything that Natural Environment needs such as Plantation, Water, Soil and Parkland. Trees and Grass can grow there. Then, the site is very wide open gives lots amount of wind and light. Thus, the view is wide open as well to many directions.
