To ensure that all people are checked by security, there must be an entry point that everyone must go through. This is means that people coming in the direction from New Parliament house, they must either walk along the existing path, or along side the proposed building. To protect the users from typical canberra weather, a shelter of some sort needed to be provided. This meant that people could use the walkway and also see within the building. Originally I had the meeting spaces very private, which is more traditional / usual style meeting room. In this instance this building to be project its openness to the community and not be hiding any general activities. We want the general public to be comfortable with this new virtual government system, one way to educate them is to run the through the building, let them see it all. If people do not go in, at least they can see how it works from the outside.
This walkway also need to provide an interesting aesthetic to the building to ensure that the user doesn't feel as thought they shouldn't be there. Opening up the walkway and let some light in, and give them something to look at.
