Here's a wee idea.. i tried to create a variety of spaces:
a central civic square
a park/square that opens south onto the river
wide sweeping curved streets like similar to oxford street
connections to the 'central park through the blocks at one point
an avenue overlooking the 'central park' at another point.. similar to the one at bon accord gardens
a long open park space similar to rubislaw/queens terrace gardens
sorry i dont have a scanner, these are just pics taken from my phone.. i'll get better quality ones scanned in tomorrow
it is look heavy for the site but its still more reasonable than the low rise slum, could be better with bigger street for ther center
ReplyDeletefrom the scale I can feel that you gonna have some 100-meter-buildings
ReplyDeletesome of them would be terraces.. the fifth year block is 80m so i think its ok personally... it's at the scale of the edinburgh new town.. except some blocks are smaller so they could just be one biulding, with a big enough base to be a large office block for instance
ReplyDeleteyou hardly ever get a single building with roads on all four sides, these blocks are collections of buildings, terraced together..
we could slice some alleyways through a couple of the blocks aswell
at least we're getting some debate now

It is good to see another interpretation of this part of the site. Perhaps we have gone from too small to too large, but that is fine, at least we have learned from the exercise of transferring our thoughts to paper.
