ABOUT
This is the GROUP06 of the Urban Design course 08/09. The work featuring here has be done by the students as part of their Master. We are working on the topic of urban change and are focusing on London. Of interest are the past and current, but mainly the future MUTATIONS of the city.

i love this proposal:)
ReplyDeletebut if the fuctions are still the same "in canary wharf" , does that mean that the river is again separating the business/housing districs from each other?
Thr river is redirected through the existing west india docks (widening, and removing locks). A tidal barrage provides pedestrian access as well as the existing road and pedestrian bridges. The barrage would also provide energy for 150,000 homes at our current rate of energy consumption.
ReplyDeleteFair point, and one that has not been made previously, the severance of work live and play. However, the project is set in 2070, where our reliance on oil is no more, and the mono typologies we have come to know are dissolved, with integrated living and working. Defunct areas of office space are adapted and converted to living accommodation, markets schools restaurants and sports facilities entwine. Like Shibuya tokyo, or in the extreme kowloon walled city, cross programming and temporal programming must take the helm in a post crunch urbanity. If our cities are to be sustainible, they need to be dense, vibrant and self reliant, gone are the days of car-centric urbanism. And soon to be gone will be our reliance on cheap gas coal and oil for energy, and import for food.
Cities are difficult to understand, and through this study I have only brushed the surface of a complex and dynamic organism.
