Upon
the
fact
that
existing
civic
buildings
are
to
be
removed
due
to
structure
instability,
we
begin
to
consider
demolishing
the
exiting
and
preserving
foot-prints
of
the
current
civic
buildings
for
the
new
development.
By
doing
so,
the
voided
area
will
become
a
showcase
for
public
to
enjoy
and
learn
about
the
history
of
the
city.
By
adding
the
link
bridge
with
food
and
beverage
area
for
staffs
and
visitors
of
the
town
center
inside
of
the
void area, it will help the historical footprint be more active and effective to be utilized by public.

In
respect
of
provided
functional
need,
we
consider
use
of
the
sloped
site
by
excavating
it
in
order
to
make
approach
to
the
building
more
efficient
and
diverse.
Mainly
lower
floors
are
allocated
for
administration
and
its
offices
inside
the
triangle
form
centering
open
atrium
for
indirect
sun
lights
and
natural
ventilation
which
save
energy
cost
for
mechanical
and
electrical
usage
for
ventilation,
cooling
and
even
heating.
Plus,
upper
floor
with
green
roof
system
is
used
for
the
performing
theatre
area
to
make
column
free
space
as
well
as
easy
exits
when
there
is
fire.
Also
affordable
housing
units
are
allocated
near
house
zone
at
the
west
of
the
site to give separate comfortable access for residents.
By
this
arrangement,
we
strongly
believe
the
site
and
its
context
with
required
programs
have
been
fully
optimized
as
a
new
yet
old
enough
to
give
comfortable
sentiment
to
residents
in
the
city
and
give
the
unique
character of the town.

With
population
around
103,000,
the
city
of
Ryde
is
rural
environment
yet
very
close
to
the
major
city,
Sydney.
Residents
in
Ryde
can
easily
travel
to
enjoy
the
big
city-like
atmosphere
by
driving
10
to
30
minutes
from
their
home.
Life
in
Ryde
is
like
a
place
where
people
like
to
relax
and
enjoy
comfortable
environment.
In
its
regards,
the
new
development
of
the
civic
center
at
the
heart
of
the
town
would
not
change
the
way
it
has
been but respect culture that people have been used to have.
The
site
area
has
its
unique
form
of
the
boundary
which
is
a
triangular
shape.
Thus,
each
ending
point
of
the
triangle
positions
at
different
elevation
levels
with
6
to
7
meter
height
variations.
Approaches
to
the
site
will
vary
by
where
people
coming
from.
They
will
ultimately
create
diverse
experience
for
public.
In
addition,
existing
civic
buildings
which
are
built
1964
and
1970
respectively
will
have
historical
value
to
residents
in
the
town.
