The image above shows the ann street side of Anzac Square. To the left of the photo is the old buildings which contains central station and various other businesses. The east and we3st extents pf the site act as 'limts' and 'edges' but creating barriers that cannot be penetrated. The change in levels is another reason why they act as a limit. It is an edge because vegetation abruptly ends at each side.
The drawing above shows the rough layout of the square with paths moving throughout the site to allow for the best possible access. The buildings surrounding and the trees within the site give very good shade to those using the space and allows for a good relaxing space for people working in the city.The drawing to the left shows the height layers of Ann street, Anzac Square at both levels, Adelaide street and the surrouding buildings. Entry ways are along the length of the site to the bottom, however, at the top entry points are situated directly next to the arbour flame. This means all traffic at this end must walk past, drawing everybodies attention.
The buildings to the west side of the site, the higher side of Anzac square, has in the past played a major role in the design of the post office to the east side, the lower side of Anzac square. The differentiation in levels allows for a wquieter and more peaceful environment within the space. While not all of the noise is removed, there is a significant amount less noise in the space to the levels outside.
The image above shows the square, the paths throughout and the trees that allow for good interaction for users within the site.
The drawing to the left shows the basic layout and height differences within Anzac square anfthe surrounding streets and buildings.
