Welcome to the interchange

This is one of my key images for my scheme.
In the foreground the Leeds + Liverpool canal can be seen with a stepped seating area down to a terrace. The terrace is a spill out from the restaurant that also faces the Piazza. The bridge/walkway starts off at the canal bridge to enter the theatre at 1st floor level. It then crosses the canal basin with places to stop and watch narrow boats or the floating stage. When the Bridge enters the Piazza site it forms a canopy for people waiting for the waterbus before becoming a roof for the facilities/toilets and the Restaurant.
The walkway splits into two; one to slope down to the Piazza and one to bring people to a higher height over the site. Bringing people to a greater height gives people an alternative perspective on the site and when watching people.
Places such as York and Chester have roman walls that people like to walk on -although this is not at the same scale or historic reasons as the City walls, there is the same novelty of being raised up to view things from a different perspective. Children like to walk on garden walls, (so do some adults) whether this is to see if they can balance on the wall, see things at a different height or have a change of route I am unsure, but providing a higher walkway gives the audience a different route through the site, adding to the constanlty changing environment.
