< axial design option 2 ><br />

The option two constitutes of a more hut structure<br />

where the gardens <strong>and</strong> the public amenities<br />

co-exist <strong>and</strong> the circulation path that is created<br />

would become the “public” space for the pedestrian<br />

traffic.<br />

I analysed the space at a radius of 3 <strong>and</strong> the<br />

results show that the public space <strong>in</strong> the design<br />

seems to be less <strong>in</strong>tegrated but not so well connected<br />

with its surround<strong>in</strong>gs. The reason maybe<br />

because of the appearance of angular changes<br />

when navigat<strong>in</strong>g through the space. It requires<br />

more changes <strong>in</strong> angle, from cross<strong>in</strong>g from one<br />

street to the other than would option one, thus<br />

giv<strong>in</strong>g less connectivity <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegration values.<br />
