Project 2: Site Analysis

A lot of problems and issues had been discussed and examined.

The major problem for the site is WIND, the building that we planned to locate on the site are to try and minimize the wind problems gonna occur...

Firstly we looked at the site in a from a larger scale point of view...

Drawings below shows where the location of the site is,

The traffic flow on a further scale rather than just the site within...

And also touched slightly on how urban growth development may affect on the future school...

Then we moved on to Torquay's history, and did a research time line on the site's history..

After doing all the background research, we moved closer to our site and did a closer analysis..

The wind flow diagram shown below was based on our on-site experience, we found out that high wind area tends to be on very flat site, wind barriers are unable to overcome high wind areas shown below...

Then we did an analysis on site access, sun path and also the minor slope where the water tends to run off..In this analysis, especially on the site access, we decided not to interupt with the current access flow, and tends to utilize the flow path into our masterplan.

When all analysis were done, we began to set out a design brief base on the analysis and research that we did, and narrow down our design within these sets of criteria...
