Project 2 Master Plan Final

Click on the image above to see our groups main ideas and presentation for the Master Plan!





Above is the image of out groups proposal of the Master Plan for Torquay's year 10, 11 and 12 school. We got an overall good review with only criticism on the student drop off zone. We decided as a group that we will wipe out the parking spaces to the left of that area, creating a big loop and waiting area for parents. This will allow for a less congested drop off zone.




This is our Master Plan indicating the traffic control and major axes!







The three images above illustrate the fluid mapping carried out to test out our Master Plan against the strong afternoon South-Westerly wind and strong morning Northerly winds. The fluid mapping proved quite succesful, but also indicated that we may need to extend the wind barriers for the South-West.







The images above illustrate the sun shading model we put together in order to test the shading of the buildings. It is successful in the fact that there is plenty of light in the main central courtyard area. In this case, shading may be neccessary for the ourdoor laerning spaces that we created. The only downside is that the ampitheatre is completely shaded. We may need to go back and re work that area to allow sunlight onto the ampitheatre.
