Analysis of Urban Porosity - Queen Street Urban Porosity: - The porous boundaries of private and public properties - Negotiation between ‘publicity’ and ‘privacy’ - How interfaces plugs into public pedestrian networks to allow social interaction and contribute to active street life
Laneway with transparent interfaces
Aims of mapping: -Explore how the transparent interfaces influences the level of pedestrian flows General Findings: - Transparent interfaces can attract more pedestrian flows, especially in the small laneways. There is an obvious example - the Hardware Lane. Most of the laneways in Queen Street lack of transparency to attract pedestrians. Potential Changes: - How to activate the laneways without transparent interfaces now
