unidentified species 1 movement patterns through the space

the space is a major thoroughfare. People pass through it without regestering their surroundings (save perhaps how hot is at around 2pm on a summer day). The space forms connections between the guild village, the main library and the cricket oval, all major nodes within the university. Corymbia calophylla

Platanus x Acerifolius

Agonis flexuosa

Eucalyptus rudis Shadow analysis morning (top) afternoon (bottom) no sun in the morning, near complete sun in the afternoon unidentified species 2 Obligations and Considerations major thoroughfare major service corridor intense sun in summer edge effects (lawn) little soil present below paving sparse vegetation present no spaces to pause/sit Design Development the layout of the raised planter boxes is derived from mapping peoples movement through the space and the major passages and nodes that surround it. Further more, all service hatches have been left accessable, the planter boxes navigating around them.

The space is to become an exhibition space for endemic and native of the Perth region and surrounds. Due to lack of sub-surface soil and high presence of services and utilities, the vegetation will be planted in large planter boxes.

These planter boxes are to act like plinths; putting Western Perths flora on display. These planter boxes will range from 0.5 to 1.5m in height, forcing pas- sers by to see them up close. People will witness the plants in great detail, in contrast to how the average person sercieves the bush as nothing spectacular, which of course it is.

In place of the 8 Queensland boxes that form the vegetation pallette of the immediate space, 5 native trees will be planted. These tree will utilize the same locations due to lack of areas suitable for ground concept sketch planting. Summer Winter

The raised planter boxes will provide relief from the summer sun for passers by, as well as shaded places to sit for people wishing to dwell in the space. Similarly, in winter, seats are positioned so people are able to soak up the sun.

The space will retain its function as a thoroughfare, provided passers by with both exposed and shel- tered passages. Should people desire to simply pass through the space they may do so.
