Week 13 - Layout of Community Decided

This is the final layout i have chosen for my  community. As you can see from the drawing below, there are two different types of paths; ones that are straight and lead to each dwelling, and the curved paths that lead between the four vertical vegetation and light shafts. This idea allows people, no matter where they are located in the underground community to have direct access to at least two shafts within their 'street'. All dwellings will sit 12m deep and the straight 'streets' will sit 6m deep. The depth of these two allows them to fit perfectly across the site.


This drawing also shows the three corridors that will lead to the surrounding underground communities and the public transport. The service cube can also be seen to the left, where all the power, water and concrete squares will be kept. Four ventilation shafts will also be located in the four corners of the site to constantly direct air throughout, no matter which direction it is flowing in above ground.
