Initial investigation into the broader locale via mapping techniques.
The simple nolli map shows us the interspersed, 'broken' arrangement of the Paddington built form.
Topographically, the area has great range
Combining the two layers shows the Paddington district in two paradoxical layers. The arrangement of urban form is ignorant of the topography. Only by simple single "Queenslander" typology dwelling construction is it possible to populate. The landscape separates and creates boundaries between neighbours and community. The Paddington Central site presents in these maps as a coherent larger space for such interactions. (It currently does not cater to this).
