CULTURAL USE 01:CYCLING HUB
INITIAL SITE ANALYSIS:SECTOR 05
SITE ANALYSIS
Initial research involved sector restricted investigation of Sector 05, situated between the railway line and King Street. Early
findings identified immediate relationships between planning and circulations, however there was a third later to be further
discovered.
Upon selecting cycling as a first cultural use for the project, issues in parking, paths and safety were identified through site
investigations. Such investigations brought upon the consideration of missing links within Newtown, revealed as a consequence of
the two local government areas, Marrickville Council and the City of Sydney.
The project immediately became concerned with cycling as a rich cutlural aspect of Newtown that was to be protected, conserved
and in the design, enhanced.

SITE ANALYSIS
Physical site investigations began to revealed Newtown’s ability to use other spaces, such as laneways, frontyards, backyards,
rooftops, possible as a result of its position between the city and suburbia and more importantly, its rich cultural capital.
Further investigation identified issues within household types in relation to density, thus resulting in a design which brought
program together with medium-high density housing in attempts to address density issues while focussing on opportunity for
communal environments within the design.
With Newtowns high volume of heritage buildings, it was important to select a site in which a design could be added
without taking buildings away, resulting in the selection of the Newtown Tramsheds as the project site.

SITE SELECTION:NEWTOWN TRAMSHED
SELECTING THE SITE
The Newtown Tramsheds contain historical value, in its use and in its architecture. This existing brick masonry building was a large
volume which allowed for the aforementioned concept of adding to the site without taking existing buildings away.
The site location in itself was essential in creating a cycling hub, with its proximity to Newtown Train Station. As the existing
building was once a ‘hub’ for trams, the design now maintains the buildings use as a hub, however for that of bicycles.
The topography of the site also allowed for dynamism of movement around and into the building, with heights
conveniently following room height standards. In relation to cycliing, investigations identified current movement around the building, and sought to extend the circulation into and up the
building.

PROJECT STRATEGY:CYCLING SYSTEMS AS
KEY GENERATORS
UTILISING BICYCLE MOVEMENT SYSTEMS AS THE GENERATORS OF ARCHITECTURE
The project further emphasises the notion of inverting heirarchies by moving away from the standard form and circulation within buildings,
with stairs for example, and using aspects of cycling to produce a systematised strategy to design.
RAMPSDifficulty intervals of cyclists were utilised not only to create a learning environment for learning cyclists to improve, but more importantly to
establish spatial heirarchy amongst storeys in the buildings.
GEOMETRY + MOVEMENTThe notion of the circular gear of the bike and the way in which
movement occurs around it lead to an interest in the geometry of a circle, with spokes leading to the manipulation of the radial grid, which
systematically responded to paths, programmatic relationships and visibility. The circular form also allowed for the dynamism of spaces and
movement, breaking up the large rectilinear volume.
TURNS + WIDTHSDifficulty intervals were also considered in the sharpness of turns, thus
resulting in the transformation of the bicycle path as it winds up the building.
Path widths were considered as an economic system, which played with notions of heirarchy between cyclists on one side, and pedestrians on the
other.

PROGRAMMATIC ORGANISATION:USERS AND RELATIONSHIPS
USERS
Initial investigations of the sites users considered the flow of specific users into and out of the building, utilising categories to identify
relationships. Further considerations integrated users with movement speed, program types, as well as user destinations in order to identify different forms of
movement.
PROGRAMMATIC RELATIONSHIPSThe two uses of cycling and housing were divided into all possible
programs in attempts to further identify the complex relationships which would occur the continuous path within the building.
Consistent diagrams were made to be able to compare the two program types, integrating information such as
- Times of Use
- Program Types
- Program Characteristics
- Spatial requirements
- Ratios of Spaces
