This sketch is a section through through the site (Elizabeth St to Queen St). I wanted to establish a circulation channel through the site at ground level and then have the other uses above and below. By mixing the location and relationship between the spaces, more diverse spaces are created. Issues to consider is the change in levels between Elizabeth and Queen St, circulation up and downwards and whether people will use the spaces if they are in inconvenient locations. There would need to be a purpose to get people to use spaces.
Developing the atrium and circulation.
Since the scope of my project changed from redeveloping the entire Myer Centre to a section of it, the need to jamb as much floor area as possible is no longer required. This sketch shows a more levelled approach to the planning. I want to try and get circulation through the site, but also have a public which feeds directly off the retail, food and hospitality uses. Also, creating a visual link with retail above was a goal. How I treat the heritage facade is still developing.
