Water Analysis

2019.Aug.15th

Sun&Shade Analysis

Sidney Myer Asia Centre has a sunken site in front of the east entrance. There are tram stops and tall buildings on the east side of the site, which are not easy to receive sunlight. The design site is a sinkhole, where street rainwater often

Average monthly rainfall days

The design site often accumulates water after rain.

Swanston Street is a major thoroughfare in the centre of Melbourne. The street vertically bisects Melbourne's city centre and is famous as the world's busiest tram corridor, for its heritage buildings and as a shopping strip.The street is close to the University of Melbourne and is surrounded by many cultural and educational buildings

UniLodge @Melbourne

The rainfall is high in Melbourne and sometimes Melbournes even has to cope a heavy rain during specific months so this design is a great chance to collecting rainfall and utilizing rain water .

Water flow direction analysis

Our design site located in front of the Sidney Myer Asia Centre which opposite to the tram station.This area mainly used as a pathway. The Sidney Myer Asia Centre is a multi-purpose building that responds to a range of functions to serve the needs of both University teaching and exhibition space and the headquarters of an education/business group

Historical flood

In December 1934, being a postie was a tough gig as flooding turned the streets of Melbourne into canals

In 2010, Melbourne was again lashed by severe thunderstorms as well as strong winds dubbed a “mini cyclone”. Heavy rain and hail fell, affecting much of the city and leaving major roads underwater.

According to the SES, areas of particular risk around the CBD are Kensington and North Melbourne which have flooded on numerous occasions

Wet weather has caused havoc across Melbourne, shutting down roads, submerging cars and caving in roofs, as severe thunderstorms moved across the state.

Street water is stored temporarily through flower beds and seats, and discharged to the other side in time by pressure difference.

The interaction of water

Part of the water forms capillae in the sawdust layer and root layer, and most of the rest accumulates and goes away.

Particulate contaminants remain in the upper layers, and the roots and bacteria purify the ions.
