As my building is intending to simply be inserted within the street, it needs to minimise possible intrusions to the context.
Two possible locations were chosen for the site of the transport station. These were at the two ends of our site on Queen street.
The two possible locations. Each location contains minimal infrastructure and small shops. However the one to the right contains the most open space and has a greater connection to the myer centre and other elements within queen street.
The area of queen street was also explored.
It can be seen that queen street contains a number of timber and steel structures.
That there is a lot of greenery and seating areas.
Small businesses dotted around the pedestrian area, each with interesting roof structures and connections to the outside.
As well as large retail buildings with interesting heritage facades.
There are a series of walkways between structures making the street more permeable and fluid.
There are meeting places and central points within the street, bordered by small businesses.
After examining Queen Street some more it was decided that a pod station would be better suited to the proposed area on the right of the first image with more open space and places for people to move about.
