Cathedral Square, situated well outside the centre of the city, is a very quiet and seemingly unused space. Seemingly, all interaction wit the space would come exclusively from those entering the office building from the southern end. While quite peaceful, the space feels empty for some reason.
The space is unioque duie to the four different surrounding envgironments. The churches, the city, spring hill andf thre valley. This may be one ofr the causes as to why the space feels so empty, because it doesnt really belong to anywhere.
Above, the southern end of the square. whilst a larger portion of the centre is taken up by the pavement,the far southern end features tall ttrees, bushes and grass which create a nice and peaceful relaxation point. the trees act as sound barriers creating a quieter enironment, a plus side to the square.
As seen in the image above, the square features some unusual shade structures, which apparently direct flow and gather the water as well. Whilst functionally competent, the structures are not very aesthetically attractive.
