Internal activation through improved infrastructure CREATING CONNECTIONS THROUGH LAYERED INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKS The infrastructure networks introduced within this site follow a hierarchy of pathways and introduced a people centric system. This connects back to the BISI principle of evoking and embodying the human scale.

EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE NETWORKS

The existing roads prioritise vehicular modes of transport and irregular in form, in comparison with the site’s context, which increases isolation.

CONDENSED SERVICE ROADS

The condensed service roads are solely dedicated to vehicular access and are supported by the new Green Roads, for internal community circulation.

GREEN ROAD CONVERSION

The introduction of Green Roads, which prioritise walking and ambulant means of transport, encourage activity. This support of human engagement is beneficial for wellbeing from both a health and social perspective.

NEW NETWORK OF PEDESTRIAN WALKWAYS

The grid formation of the pedestrian walkways echoes that of the context, providing integration with the wider community. This human-scaled network of pathways makes it easy for community members to interact. 24
