The area around the Squarehouse

Since my plan is to connect NIDA and the squarehouse, the bridge will need to cross ANZAC Parade. However, there are multiple large trees blocking such connections, which prevent the bridge from staying close to ground.

The bridge can connect to the empty space on the roof above the foyer of NIDA centre, while the bridge can connect to the third floor or the roof of the squarehouse to minimalise impact to vegetations.

 The blue circle in the plans of squarehouse indicate a suggestion to expand the staircase of the Squarehouse to accomodate for an influx of pedestrian movement of the bridge.
