The bigger picture.
Evolution of spatial layout
Although the gridded layout alleviate some issues, the junction between the communal building & Stretford Public Hall was still uncomfortable. Through massing the blocks & viewing them as separate entities I was able to resolve the site arrangement which in term aide me in the development of my landscaping strategy.
Application of gird & contextual lines to site with condensed arrangement
Through the rationalisation of housing units, I had begun thinking about the separate blocks as a whole & as a result had started to lose the interesting spaces. Masterplanning of the site became essential to creating a comfortable atmosphere within the courtyard space & fully utilise the nooks & crannies created by the staggered arrangement of the housing.
Current resident circulation routes are obstructed by scheme.
By shifting the gridded arrangement, it is possible to maintain circulation routes around the site which will allow my scheme to better integrate with its surroundings.
