With the site, it is clear that one of the more important aspects are the seating areas created. So, here are some technical drawings of the main seating blocks within the site:
The first is of the seating area within the oval, supposedly the main focal point. Although it stretches quite far there are not many seats to accomodate people, as the timbre slabbing only covers roughly one third of the ovular section.
The second set of drawings represent the surrounding seating blocks from the oval.
The blocks have clearly been implemented as a means of social gathering, however comparing the quantity of seats to the mass area it would appear that perhaps the space was not designed to acquire for occasions whereby there would be a large number of people using the space. It rather suggests that they are to be used for more short term usage such a cigarette breaks from local shops or maybe even an almost 'getaway' for the local residents.
The new water feature is being to the ovular area, creating even less seating area, and also implying the need for a focal monument in the space.
