Wickham Square

Wickham Square is my last project for DAB710 4th year Arch Design




Concept

The project had a very interesting site with a prominent position in Fortitude Valley. The biggest opportunity in my opinion was the reclamation of flat open urban space with more room to move than China Town Mall and Brunswick street which are linear in nature with sloping ground planes. The programatic opportunity lay in the reinforcement of the Valleys existing focus on hospitality. It seemed logical to use the prominence of the sites location to help create a destination that epitomized the Valleys forte whilst acting as an 'Urban Catchment' for activity at the edge of the Valley Heart.
