The sectional model describes the form and nature of the nullah and its surroundings. The model allows me to understand the relationship between the nullah channel, the surrounding community, landscape and the buildings. In my case, the model tells me and the audience how wide the nullah channel is, comparing to the height of the adjacent residential buildings. It also reveals the lack of gathering spaces, the desire for cycling activities, yet insufficient infrastructure to support it.
