I put a lot of thought into my panels over the entire semester.. and after much deliberation I went for a inverted split composition. I was aiming for only 1 A1 sheet.. but as my drawings grew I had expanded to 2 A1 sheets. I was pleased I got to reuse the diagrams I did for Project 1.
The text on the panel reads:
The text on the panel reads:
Canberra was Australia’s first planned city and as such should hypothetically be an exemplar to the rest of the cities of Australia. However its scattered design and its inability to adapt has influenced its identity and precence as the countrys capital. Its most significant function is the necessary parliamentary services that take place in Canberra. Politicans fly in and fly out on a daily basis which impact their connection with the people. The Woden Valley Depot is one of many proposed locations for a light rail infrastructure to increase peoples mobility in Canberra. By servicing the existing and future population, you can achieve the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
Woden Valley Depot is supported by various existing systems such as extensive cycle
routes, the Westfield Woden bus interchange and Athllon Drive which connect Woden
town centre to Tuggeranong. On an urban scale, the depot is located directly opposite
the Westfield shopping centre and town centre which is a central access point for residents in both east and west locations. The light rail carriages itself become parts of the circulation of the station. The structure of the depot allows for a variety of configurations and is designed to a grid system which allows the light rail carriages to line up and connect to form these integrated corridors between the permanent structure and the ‘mobile’ carriages.
