Human Ecology

Who uses the site? What is their purpose? And when do they use this site? These questions begin bringing up spatial concepts for any particular site. The morphology of a site is the study of the form, shape, and structure of the environment and has to be paid close attention to. Hanover street is a dynamic axis, passage, and or node, lined with mixed-use developments which act as multi-purpose destinations. These buildings offer a variation of public and private space such as shops, offices, and living spaces. Human ecology is a very important factor in the sculpting of space. How do people actually use the builings and outdoor spaces that occupy the land on and around which they inhabit? Many people use this street as a means of passage from the land to water. Others may use it as meeting place. This street acts as a place for celebrations of events. This site is occupied by varying age groups all throughout the day and night.
