Given what I had attempted to achieve and the scale at which that was, by the time of submission I was feeling quiet confident about my whole resolution and strategies around getting this development to perform like I think it should. I presented to 3 critique markers all of which gave mixed feedback about my presentation. I think that was mainly due to the fact that I told what I had tested and identified what problems were arising however I never showed in a simple diagram how I actually overcome this. I guess I just wanted to show the final product and what features it has as a posed to indicate every single design solution which I had to make.
Points that were raised in the discussion:
The park and pool being 3 levels above, does it not engage users/people walking by enough?
When thinking specifically about people who are walking past I probably could have had a more inviting entry up on to the public park. But then again I also think there are always going to be mixed feelings towards these sort of issues because being a shopping centre, you always want people to walk all around the shop to get to where ever they want to go. This just adds to their impulsive purchasing and everybody knows this. So in regards to the park being on the roof and the way it is accessed I think from this point of view it is perfectly viable. What better way that have people see the park from neighbouring high-rises and become curious to go and visit during their lunch break but at the same time are forced to walk through the shopping centre? A tactic of all major shopping centres!
Future Design Options / Ideas
Given the time, I would have like to put some major tourist attraction on that site. It really is one of the best sites possible in all of Brisbane. A viewing tower could have been put there, a theme park, cultural centre anything really! Its just a matter of trying to tie it all in with the initial concept ideas which came up in the first assignment.

Panel
This design proposal addresses the current Myer Centre in Brisbane CBD. On one of Brisbane's most prime real estate locations, the current Myer Centre lacks pretty much everything apart from transport and retail. The feel inside the building is one of which most would call quiet dull. This proposition aims at addressing the future requirements of retail environment whilst allowing the user to feel comfortable and aware of their outside surroundings at all times. In addition to this, the residential building caters for 80 units both 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom. A new City Link Monorail system has also been implemented along with a Commercial Office Building.
