FUNCTION DIAGRAMS - SITE The flow of the Pier will have two main streets, which follow along the old train tracks and binds the flows together. As a gradient in activity level, the main paths connect different urban activities; the high activity to the west, near the arrival and Cable Park and low activity to the east. To the west, the Pier is occupied by flows and noise from a high activity level, and to the east, the Pier is calm, and a low pace is expected to happen. The intention is to design for social alliesthesia. The illustrations in fig. 41 conceptualise the basic flow for the site without considering distances, orientation or size, but rather illustrate the activities and interconnectedness of the site. This will be elaborated on and detailed further in the design process.
