Deconstructing the City

Brisbane - Deconstructed

The City can be broken up into many identifiable parts, each of which has a significant impact on the demographic of people in any given district. In order to truly uncover the potential of the Howard Smith Wharves site, we must analyse the nearby grid, and understand the types of people interacting with the nearby city.

As can be seen from the diagram, there is a wide range of people to cater for, with a nearby High School,  Tertiary Institutes, the trendy youth culture of the Valley, Families which reside in the Newfarm Area, and Proffessionals working in the CBD.

User Urbanology

Urbanology Analysis Allows us to further explore the specific areas of the city, and identify the demographics and user groups which frequent, utilise and develop these places. A wide range of demographics can be found operating within specific parts of the city.

Further analysis into the current usage of the site will allow us to identify what functions and programs are most needed in our design proposal for the Howard Smith Wharves site.
