The following is a general overview of
our proposed future for Paddington Central so far to give context for our Architectural Possibilities;
Conditions of the Future
Built + Natural Environment
- Elimination of “brick & mortar” shops due to the “virtual shopping” trend
- Retail precincts within Paddington are no longer existent
- To counter the introversion of typically social activities (gyming, shopping, etc.) Paddington has been converted into a sustainable walkable community in an attempt to encourage community engagement and sustainable practices (this point is to be further discussed)
- New Zero-Carbon CBD Precinct within Paddington(decentralised from the existing CBD)
- Zero Emission and Clean Tech Company hub within the precinct
- No vehicular access except via existing main traffic paths (La Trobe Terrace, Enoggera Terrace)
- Existing roads are now public spaces of engagement and community interaction à market places, pop-up shops, seasonal community events
