The current sketch arose as a result of an assessment of conditions, constraints and possibilities. During the pre-design analysis, possible restrictions on the site were identified and taken into account in the planning scheme, including: red lines, security zones of electric power facilities, a scheme for laying underground and above-ground networks, a draft layout of sections of linear metro facilities, and flood zones.
Based on GIS data, including a “heat map” of pedestrian flows, the areas of the densest traffic were identified and marked on the diagram as the main transport and pedestrian connections, and existing flow gaps were eliminated. Visual connections of the UEC with the center of the capital were also identified.
While applying the results of the pre-design analysis to the planning diagram, the main building area was formed, the tower locations were determined, their orientation was established, the main entrances were marked, and a functional diagram was created.
