The image below is a summary of my past few weeks design progression, showing briefly and very succinctly where my initial concept design began and where it is now.
FACADE DESIGN
Regarding the arson attack which destroyed the Tram Depot
located at the site and the development of the Paddington Central Shopping
Centre that exists there now:
“After
the remains of the depot had been cleared, which took some years, the City
Council sold the block and a shopping centre, now known as "Paddington
Central" was built on the site. This was redeveloped in the late 1980s,
with the new building's roofline echoing the pitched gables of the tram depot.”

Above is an image of the current Paddington Central shopping
centre roofline which, as noted in the above quote, echoes the gables of the
tram depot building which was destroyed in the fire. For the design of the
transit centre, I have attempted to further echo this pitched gable design subtly
through the façade of the transit centre. The design of the facade also
endeavours to emulate the roof line of the existing character housing in the
area.
