SITE PLAN WITH BUILDINGS IN CONTEXT
It was discussed in the crit today that the underground circulation is not good enough - the site plan which although I did not show justifies why all circulation would be from underground. This information was on my master plan although it did not convey well. It is proposed that the entry to the buildings is from the existing carparks - there is no reason for the users to cross the road to get to the other transit centre as it is completely redistricted by the building (as there are no obvious entries on the opposite sides) The users would also have no reason to cross to the otherside as generally they would get dropped off at which ever station they needed to go - that being the inbound or outbound, The user would then go underground to get to their required station. In the instance that the user is arriving at the site via the public transport they would exit the platform and go to the required building (having no need to cross above ground).
Primarily the users of the third building are the station users or the users from the residential section shown in the master plan as future development. The forms of buildings 1 and 2 do not suggest entry to the third building is achievable as the forms are angled in such a way to angle the users in. There will also be large levels of vegetated patches as shown in the diagrams above so although there is a visual connection there it is not one that suggests circulation above ground
DIAGRAM EXPLAINING UNDERGROUND CIRCULATION
This shows how the buildings sit in relation to the underground in terms of entry and access
