The buildings form depended on the location of the pedestrian walkways which relied on:

1. Entrance and exit points of the site

2.Final destinations

3.Level changes resulting in ramp gradients

Collaging the canal and Edge Street entrance helped my understand how these areas may feel and how the building should be formed as a result.
