Site Block
The site is extruded and reduced to create a manageable and considerate form to its context.
Mitigation of Mass
Considering how we can best break up the site block to create public realms, connecting routes, gateways and viewing corridors to important contextual characteristics.
Rationalisation
Breaking apart the site block, as per the mitigation of mass, to create numerous forms and connecting routes to understand how best to use the site.
Orientation and Connectivity
Rotation of created forms, reacting to the shape of the site boundary. This also takes into consideration the sun path and prevailing winds to create a considered architectural response with regards to the climate.
