Site Connections - Figure Ground

Street Network - Route to Site

Street Network

Since my economic actors are families, they naturally reside in suburbs adjacent to the town centre. By beginning to establish connections, I can construct a network that depicts the common interconnections of my economic actors' locations.

Possible site accessibility difficulties can be detected by research on street networks and establishing access to the place. Thankfully, my economic actors can walk to the site, which is less than a 15-minute walk away. You must, however, cross A roads, which might operate as site restrictions for pedestrians.

Greenery and Rivers - Boundaries to Site RIBA Sustainable Outcomes - Project Goals

Sustainable Land Use & Ecology

• Leave a site in a better regenerative ecological condition

• Priortitise Brownfield Site Selection

Rivers and Greenery

Burnley

The area of Brunshaw is bounded by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which is there only one main crossover towards the Site. This acts as a boundary, that can make access to the site limited. Moreover Whittlefield is isolated by the M65, and requires walking through an underpass to get towards the site, once again hindering accessibility to the site.

• Create a range of green spaces

Sustainable Communities and Social Value

• Create secure places for privacy

• Create inclusive spaces for social interaction

• Prioritise place-making that expresses identity

Good Health and Wellbeing

• Provide a strong visual connection to the outside

• Design spaces that are inclusive and acessible

• Design spaces to adaptive thermal comfort standards

Linking the masterplan to the RIBA outcomes, it’s vital to establish a site that positively influences the surrounding locale, creating sustainable communities that facilitate social interaction, and prioritising sustainable land use, and user wellbeing to ensure the site has a positive influence on the surrounding community.
