Site analysis and observations (and more coming soon)

Examining the site context and surroundings the above analysis  was under taken while not exactly showing more than some breif observations (more analysis coming soon)  but what is clear (and will be made clearer by diagrams coming soon) is that the site is very much a though- fare with main access by foot or cycle. Buses stop reasonably close to the site and can be walked to. It is used by people travling to the CBD from mainly New Farm (which consists of a lot of residential) Interactions between those from Fortitude Valley to the CBD with the site is relatively minimal as the site is on the edge of the Valley boundary and is seperated by the topography.
And with the Sparseness of Public pools in the innercity there could be a large demand for such a pool from certain demographics. From the fittness point of view it would complete the training regims for many people.

Definition of Pool Use

From analysing the site and the expanded context of the suburbs and surrounding locations. I have come to the conclusion that the Pools use will be orientated around Relaxation, Recreation and Training due to the lack of pools in the area it will be multi-use to appeal to the widest range of people that currently use the site but is also aimed at bringing people to the site.

It is possible for the pool to be used for school district  carnivals and school swimming lessons.
