Frontages
This perspective conveys the story of a simple frontage language in connection to open site selection, o ering the users a visual character.
Ground Surface
This viewpoint depicts the level changes by visualising the steps and adding an interactive component to the site.
Plan Dimension
987.4m2 Open space site study area is suitable to occupy 50 people at the same time.
Position Of Access
The open space is accessible from New Road and Queen Road as well as users from Westgate Shop ping mall.
Street furniture
Users frequently seek a location to recline or rest by engaging in a physical activity such as sitting. Sitting is a typical behaviour, and individuals seek out a seating space when they are fatigued. Human Behaviour will believe that a level elevated surface is a good location to sit. Furthermore, the steps have a variety of levels and are shaded by trees. This image conveys a lot of information regarding street furniture and the signi cance of placing street furniture in an open area. Seating and street furniture are a fantastic mix with fun design to attract users, but they must rst represent the character of the location to play and how people will adapt to the identity.

Urban tissues 2
The education zone has large margin plots exposed, whereas the residential zone is adequately balanced.
Urban tissues 1
The education area has a large plot reserved to ensure the necessary block resolution.
0 x = 3500mm y = 8000mm
The frontage of the pedestrian vehicle has access points.
The street width is directly proportional to the building height.
The dimensions of the building include its width and depth, the building set-back, and the built area.
The frontage of blocks is the external manifestation of the internal structure.
An overview of width and its sub-components.
