Parking lots-
There are a couple of buildings pictured on High Street in which the parking lots are located in front of the business. In all other businesses on High Street, there is no parking located in front of the businesses. As a result, these parking lots look out of place. If they were located behind the business, High Street would appear more organized. Also, these parking lots make turning out onto High Street more dangerous as opposed to accessing a parking lot on a side street.
Different residential styles and spacing
When walking down the street in a residential area on Woodruff Avenue there is a large difference in the way the residential buildings look. There is also very little spacing between the houses. There is no sense of uniformity or organization in this residential area, and to be frank, looks poorly planned. This is a very crowded area that does not look very pleasing to the eye.
Setbacks
Many of the University buildings that we passed are very well setback from the road allowing a green space on both sides of the sidewalk. This was mainly on the campus side of lane ave, (image 6) which added view when walking around, and it fits very well with the aspect of the whole campus. While the other side of the road is the complete opposite, with no setback at all, it feels uninviting, as if it was trying to get people to go away.
The different types of buildings do not fit together.
The parking lot does not fit in with the rest of High Street.
Again the setback of the building does not fit in with the other buildings around it, I would bring the building up to the street and put parking in the back, the Structural characteristics do not fit in with the other building around it what so ever, the building does not make any sense where it is located.
Great Structural characteristics, everything seems like it fits together, the buildings are not out of place, the spacing between the buildings or lack of it fits together very well.
Must University buildings have great spacing, setbacks, have great Structural characteristics that match other buildings nearby, and have a great sense of building use.
