PHOTO SITUATION

Site Visit

These are photos I took on my sight visit each from one compass direction of the site.

The function of the site is currently being used for construction. From what I can see and according to Digimap, the site is very flat that has no contours.

POLLUTION - CHECKLIST FOR MY SITE ANALYSIS

Noise

Students gathering outside the plaza of the Barbara Hepworth Building to the north of the site.

Smell

One issue identified with smell polluntion was the toast house cafe on the University Campus. However looking into it, with dominant western winds, the smell would be diverted to the west.

Smoke

To the West of the site, there is a large smokestack used for the building ‘Yorkshire Fur Fabrics Ltd’. As the wind flows to the west, this will be an issue.

Views

The best view is to the north of the building as this faces the Barbara Hepworth building that has a modern out-take to it’s aesthetics. The worst view is to the east facing the building.

Site Location

Highlighted is the given sight that is to the south of the Barbara Hepworth Building and is in the Huddersfield Town Centre district.

There are only two streets adjacent to the site. These are Queens Street South on the west of the site and Commercial Street to the east of the site.

The sight has an area of 2250m2 .

Natural Elements

From studying some research on how the sun sets in each season, I have labelled at what direction the sun rises (where the arrow starts) and sets (where the arrow finishes). The black arrows pointing east is the force of wind. Typically, wind travels at a speed of approximately 11mph (from west to the east as shown) so therefore not very forceful.
