VIRTUAL NODES AND NETWORKS
POTENTIAL- BASED ON NETWORKS AND EDGES
People work in large numbers especially in construction sites around the waterfront and also in the docks. This type is job is labour intensive with less interactions. High levels of noise is also recorded near the site owing to construction.
During the evenings, there are increased activities in the sculpture park, docks and also outside the residents. People tend to gather for informal meetings, pray , socialise, shop, play and enrich the outdoor spaces.
Art jameel happens to be the local information hub attracting people from other parts of the city opening from 10AM. Other key points of information happen to be meeting areas, hotel lobbys, reception desks and kiosk centres.
The waterbody acts as a major information exchange platform which connects people living in different parts along the creek. Water taxis, Dhow cruises and boats become vessels for exchange in terms of things that are tangible and intangible as well.

INFORMATION
SUMMER SUN
SHADED PAVEMENTS AROUND ART JAMEEL WITH OUTDOOR SEATING METRO STATION- JADDAF HOT SHAMAL WINDS: These hot winds are usually from south-east. Hence the design must be resilient against winds from this direction
CONSTRUCTION SITES ALONG CREEK
VIEW OF THE DOCK FROM THE SCULPTURE PARK AT ART JAMEEL WINDROSE: The design of outdoor research and testing should consider moderate wind speeds from North-west and south, and high speeds from West and east
WALKWAY AROUND THE PERIMETER OF PALAZZO VERSACE COOLER ZONES AROUND BUILDING PERIMETER: people like to spend more time around the edges due to: - less radiating zones around corners of buildings - shaded areas near trees + landscapes - under elevated land masses (bridges/ mounds)
PREVAILING WINDS: Cooler winds are from north-west. The design must aim to maximize the capture of cooler winds and allow more fenestrations to improve indoor quality
MIX USE BUILDINGS OVERLOOKING ART JAMEEL

ANALYSIS INITIAL POINTS OF INFLUENCE
1 THE IMPACT OF HUMAN INTERVENTION ON THE NATURAL TOPOGRAPHY. INFLOW OF WATER COMPLIMENTS AND IMPROVES THE SPATIAL QUALITY OF LAND
2 LAYERS OF INFRASTRUCTURE ADDS MORE VALUE TO THE SURFACES, EDGES AND HENCE INFLUENCES THE SURROUNDING LAND USES
3 HIGH VOLUMES OF HUMAN MOVEMENT CAN BE FOUND TOWARDS A PARTICULAR DIRECTION CLEARLY MAKING A PERIMETER AROUND THE WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT
4 THE NATURE (MESH) IS FORCED TO SKEW AND ALTER ITS GEOMETRY DEPENING ON THE NEW USER BEHAVIOR AND LAND USE. IT SKEWS TOWARDS POINTS AND NODES WITH HIGH DENSITY AND ACTIVITY
