Site Analysis
Nolli Map of
the Howard Smith Wharves site
This View of
the area highlights the openness of the site in comparison to its busy
surrounds. This uncluttered space is enhanced by its position next to the
equally uninhabited river.
Traffic Analysis Howard Smith Wharves site
This Image
gives a clear insight into the feeling of the chosen site. Although low traffic roads flank the majority
of the area, the noise from the story bridge can be heard throughout the site.
This noise is distant enough that it does not impinge on the ambiance of the
site, but provides an almost melodic backing that highlights the hidden quality
of the site.

This image also
emphasizes the concealed element of the area. The cliff works to shield the
Howard Smith Wharves site from the Valley and City precincts while the vastness
of the river separates it from the opposing side. The Area is so well hidden it
goes unnoticed by many daily commuters.
