Masterplanning notes From Tutorial

Analysis of Current Site Conditions:

  • Master plan - pick one aspect to develop
  • Multiple transport routes currently run - transit centre gives good opportunity for development
  • lots of free, open, unused space
  • Currently just a carpark
  • Lack of connection - three lanes of traffic.
  • Meeting of the axis - needs presence on the axis - Griffin's plan - was to be the town centre to serve the people
  • Connecting major nodes - education, business, parliament and cultural
  • Transit center with residential
What type of infrastructure is already there? what is needed to be developed/designed/integrated?
  • What design philosophy and identity should this element project?
  • Structure - light weight steel; kit of parts; services - how do they interact; presence - future needs, life span - will it embrace the same as parliament house or is it a temporary structure?
  • Building element program
  • Typology
    Zoning - public and private
    Spatial Elements - security & access - how do they arrive
    Hierarchy - public to private - communal to small private
    Specific room type
    What Spaces can fit /are needed
    Relationships
  • Presence and Identity
  • Relate strongly to infrastructure systems
  • Typologies separated into a master plan or grouped into the one building
  • Should the master plan be done as a group where each person designs one element
