Project 2: Viewing Platform - Process

Site Analysis

Victoria Square is a pedestrianised public square in Birmingham which is often considered to

be the centre of Birmingham. Three major roads, Colmore Row, New Street and Paradise Street
meet there.
Victoria Square is one of the more attractive squares in Birmingham. This is underlined by the
fact that people flock to this square in warm weather to enjoy the fountain and attractive
surroundings.

best place to position my viewing
platform - near or around the
fountain.
