Analysis - site

Last week I finally amalgamated all the information that I could find to create some Plans, Sections and Elevations of the existing site. I have to say, It is pretty crazy to give us an existing building project without providing us with any metes and bounds, dimensioned plans etc when it is expected that the outcome be an adapting of the existing.  However that aside I managed to create these and use them to do some analysis of the existing.

  Site :

so in summary, what can be seen from this analysis is that conditions within the centre are moderated by having the main building mass on the Northern and Western facades and this provides an opportunity to open the centre up visually to Latrobe Trc. There is also an opportunity to open up the Eastern facade some more to encourage greater interaction with the street and passing traffic.

This analysis shows the dominance of character typology in the surrounding buildings. This suggests that Paddington central needs more of a defining style. Also noted in this analysis is the presence of other mixed used zoned buildings directly surrounding paddington central. These building could be used to support / relocate any businesses displaced by future changes to paddington central.
