Site Analysis


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.
