Masterplan ~ Bringing It All Together

Now that I know which direction every bit and piece is taking. I have to start thinking about how I can bring it all together and tie it all together as one as effectively as possible.

1. Residential Building
2. Commercial Office Building
3. Shopping Centre

Already I have found the most efficient place for the buildings in terms of sun movement but now I need to manipulate pedestrian movement around this constraint. The current MAIN entrys of the Myer centre (queen street & corner of elizabeth and albert) are still 2 very ideal points of entry. In keeping these, I can navigate the users through the site via the blue section indicated in the image below.

The public pool has also been put in place here. From the earlier sun path study of the site, you will notice that the top right hand corner is in the sun for pretty much the entire day. With a roof to protect from weather this will be a place to be enjoyed be all people from Brisbane CBD. 

The final image shows the movement of the wind which generally comes from the South-East. Whilst the wind can move through the site relatively freely, where it is interrupted by a building it navigates itself around or through appropriately. This disturbance is what is required to avoid any form of wind tunnels occurring in the Brisbane CBD.
