Site Visit - Howard Smith Wharves





The site has very quiet and peaceful compared to the city. It has city as a background which brings the idea of contrast; busy/compression and idle/tension.  





The cliff behind the site gives a sense of protection; looks like it has its arms around the site, acting as a shield or shelter.


Movement:
- Joggers
- People relaxing
- Not many students around
- Cars

Good
- Great view of river and the city
- Peaceful and quiet
- Privacy and calmness

Bad
- Remote (Isolated)
- Can't guarantee safety
- No features that would bring young people to the site
- Not many accessible entries
