SWOC

 

I have started my SWOC for the castlemeads site. I created a graphic which illustrates the context around the site. This includes the major touris attractions within Gloucester including the cathedral and the quays. In addition to this I analysed the site using the SWOC method. Personally I do find that the W and the C  are relatively similar so there is some overlap there. I think in general I prefer the SOC method as it seems to be a lot clearer rather than "randomly" separating ideas which is what it can feel when separating weaknesses and constraints.

Therefore I believe within the st aidens design the base of it will be a lily as they have 6-7 petals.

The play areas will be really colourful and hopefully give some more character to the site.
