Jason.C - Project 2: Site Analysis

This is my site analysis of the possible sites. the green pins on each analysis represents the places i have considered and the blue pin represents the chosen site.

 Location 1

The site is situated on the roof










 


 Location 2

  The site is situated on the wall on the second Floor

  Location 3

This site is situated on the wall of the second floor just below the tree











Traffic and sound

The red pins with swirls represents the general location in which the sound recording took place. recordings were taken both inside and outside the building throughout the day. the sound in measured in decibels (dB)

Blue lines represents the expected traffic flow around Unitec campus throughout the day. bold blue arrows represents traffic flow on the north western Motorway and the other blue outlined arrow represents traffic flow and direction on Carrington road. 

Population density

This is a close up of unitec campus focusing on building one. the red dots are the population density around the area throughout the week.

Sun Path

These is the sun path you would expect it to be on each of the three sites. they shows the dates, time of sunrise and sunset, its location in relation to the building true north position, and the height of the sun at noon. (this is measued in degrees °) 

I have selected location 1. i have selected this particular location because of the close proxmity to people, therefore people will notice it. Noise will be an issue however it can be controlled and it is not as annoying as one might think, Sunlight will be an issue though.  

'Study of Light' - By Charlene Wentzel

For the past couple of weeks my work towards this project has been at a stand-still however, Alvaro Siza has been an inspiration to me over the last few days and his work has influenced the way I want to use light in my hermitage.

This afternoon (with help from one of the masters students) I produced my own 'study of light'. I took two pieces of cardboard and positioned them in various ways so as to capture the light and shadows created. I will now take this information and use it to strategically place openings in my hermitage. These openings will predominantly provide light in my hermitage.

Descriptive Geometry - Charlene Wentzel

I found descriptive geometry extremely challenging in the first weeks of this assignment, hence why it has taken me so long to post. But I am very happy with these drawings and I think this makes a very interesting starting point for my hermitage design.
