The images below are from the site analysis conducted after visiting the Howard Smith Wharves. Aspects such as vehicular movement, pedestrian movements and wind levels were analysed. Furthermore, various zones within the site were identified.

| Howard Smith Wharves located in junction of four inner city districts : Fortitude valley, New Farm, Spring Hill / Brisbane CBD and and Kangaroo point. |

The above diagram indicates all the major transport systems and the surrounding environment of the Howard Smith Wharves.
ACCESS ROUTE |
 |
| This diagram explores the pedestrian access points through the site |
 |
| The vehicular access levels through the site illustrate that there are no major interruptions. The vehicular access (on ground level) is only to the car park which will not be used as a site for the Folie design. The main thing to consider when designing is the level of noise produced by the cars travelling on the Story Bridge (above ground level). |
WIND LEVELS
The diagrams below illustrate the wind levels for Brisbane during the morning (9.00am) and afternoon (3.00pm). The data was derived from bureau of meteorology: http://www.bom.gov.au/. The wind roses illustrate how the site receives wind mostly from north-east during the morning and from south-west during the afternoon. The wind levels will be significantly higher than indicated in the wind rose at this particular site due to its location next to the river.
