ANALYTICAL SKETCHES

A few sketches showing the unique perspectives that the site has to offer...

The site offers a unique perspective of the bridge - the view from underneath. From looking up at this point the bridge appears larger and more grand and overwhelming to the viewer.

The site also offers the unique perspective of being able to view both directions of the river at the same time from this point. It is possible to see the different conditions on each side; natural and commercial.

The site has a unique natural landscape. The vertical wall of vegetation offers a unique perspective of a landscape, where these are usually flat and horizontal. The river forms a horizontal landscape which appears vast from this point due to its position on a bend. The bridge is a man-made structure which forms a horizontal element in the site along with its vertical column.

These perspectives can be utilised in my design and may play a part in the design concept or program.
