Thoughts and Ideas from Week 5 Tutoiral

Discussion of Problem : "Canberra holds little capital Presence and identity, as it lacks connection across all scales"

Direction of task:

  • Pick a node individually do a node, and discuss what is focused on at each node
  • Negotiate distinctions between them
  • Define different purposes and identity
  • Same strategies? – How do you create a strategy that forms identity on National scale and can be applied to various cities, areas, towns etc
  • Look at all forms of connectivity:
  • Truck, Bicycles, recreation and pedestrian
  • How is flexibility going to be shown?
  • Design a "kit of parts" that can be applied to all Transit Centers or TOD's
  • Think of all realms – e.g. residential: student accom, affordable accom
  • Link to different modes of transportation
  • Depending on the node, each gets assigned different variations -
  • Use module design and create types and resource that addresses IDENTITY strategy
  • Each TOD to be resolved differently.
  • Trains, car-parks, pedestrian grids - Demonstrate the various scales that we are describing & propose solutions at diff scales
  • Eg. Bus routes - Zoom in – University by road - Commercial center that ignores university etc etc
  • EG. Pedestrian scale - user scale - town scale .
  • Identify each mode of transport and characteristics of each zone
  • MODULAR – what does each module need? How is it adapted within existing
  • Find strengths in what exists – Plans for rail and bus systems and what can be addressed
  • Critique what is already there and propose. Does It Fit? – apply same decision making process to a different nodes.
