Location, location, location

Since our tram route goes around 12 different stops (each of which focuses on a historic NZ building) it is quite spread out in the downtown area (as indicated by the previously posted map.) However, the one stop we are to focus on must be within the designated site "triangle." This means there are 4 potential sites for the stop, St Andrew's Church, The Auckland High Court, The Old Railway Hotel and The Old Railway Station. I have chosen the old railway station as I feel it is weathered/deteriorated in a way the other buildings isn't - since the new renovations to Britomart, this station is being visited less and less, in a way, it has deteriorated socially.




Here is an aerial view of the site, as well as the location of the site on the tram route map previously posted:


And a quick sketch on photoshop to show the tram path running alongside the pre-existing road (subject to change, depending on further development of the design.)
