Design Response_Preliminary

In an attempt to create a design response using a different process, the initial massing investigations were further explored while previous framework proposals were drawn from, in particular SJB's proposal.
As a way of further exploring the design rules I employed parametrically in the previous digital model, I implemented similar design rules as well as exploring connections and pathways across the site. Trying to achieve accuracy in representing the data I'd collected in a way that effectively sculpted geometry was consuming time which didn't allow for exploring a multitude of ideas at once.

The response meets all of the commercial brief of 15,000sqm and 250 student apartments while adding a 90 unit multiresidential building in addition. A large parking platform is obscured behind built form utilising otherwise un developable land to supply parking to all new buildings onsite as well as replace all existing parking on the subject site and Hyde street, also allowing for a further residential development improving the street character by matching the building grain opposite.
