Built Form and Open Space
Masterplan Concepts
Enhanced and liberated existing network of courtyards between building limbs, and connect into the circulation network.
Framework for new campus open space scaled to support informal and formal outdoor activity. Integrate existing elements into the identity and landscape structure.
Enhanced interfaces between buildings/ open space and focused nodes to support informal and formal interface activities.
Framework for progressive implementation of key new buildings to integrate with new landscape and support new activities.
The projected ‘built form’ elements indicated on the plan are diagrammatic. They should not be interpreted literally as buildings, but as 3D building ‘zones’. While there is logic backgrounding the general size/ inter-connections for these elements based on high-level early assumptions, they are purposely abstract place-holders’ at this stage of the Masterplan. Further detail around actual building placement, scale, and design will be dependent on demand and investment, and will be subject to detailed briefing, engagement, business case and design development and testing.
