East Greenwich March
Cities are products of time which embodied in the physical world, and the survival of identities conveys a sense of security and continuity. “east Greenwich marsh” is a vision of the peninsula that presents a spontaneously growing pattern in an order that includes complementarity between all layers added and the existing old layers, bringing back the value of the waterfront by regenerating the former riverside walk which highlights few identity elements left from the past, reminding us of the immersed industrial heritage and life behind the shadows of giant gasworks. The project is a continuation of shots of live communities, or building barges with kids playing on the riverside or in the streets; it brings back life to communities that now seem to be gone forever. It also includes linking the area socially and culturally, taking the meanings of the past and adding the meanings of “now” with appreciation to the achievements of its forerunners. It is a promise that future will save “east Greenwich marsh’s” present.
