Project Log - Site Analysis - Results

Sensory Expericence

The analysis identified the types of experiences that one would expect to encounter. The views, the contrast between hot and cool, light and darkness (not just shade) and the aroma of vegetation where all significant observations made through this analysis.

Neighbouring Context

This analysis identifies the significance of the towns and cities that surround the site. It indicated where visitors are likely to come from and where they are likely to visit when they are at the festival.

Culture and Information Flows

It is important to identify not only what type of cultural dynamic is at play during a festival, but what type information is leaving the site both physically and electronically. Although it my seem obvious, is is helpful to illustrate this to identify if can enhance or detract from the site.

Existing Ecology

Considering the ecological significance of the site, i have ruled out a bio fuel facility. Significant rainwater run of leaves the site and feeds many other area. Sound sensitive mammals are abundant on the site. Important invertebrates also make Woodfordia their home.

Precinct Dynamic

By conducting this analysis, It has become apparent that the car parking facility and the main festival strip are the vital to the functionality of Woodfordia. The carpark is the first point of contact with the site, from this point you are directed to this main festival area and from there you are directed to your camping zone. This indicates that way finding devices around the site are very important. It also indicates that there is an opportunity for some type of iconic structure in area that visitors first make contact with.
