PROJECT ONE: 'THE LONDON FRAME'

Here are a few sketches, and design proposals from my first project, 2011.  I wanted to introduce a new London landmark that not only announces your arrival in London, but a structure that would 'frame' the surrounding historical landmarks that are situated along the Thames.  Mainly the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, City Hall, Customs House and Old Billingsgate Market.  I selected the site based on a previous tourist map that I had investigated.  This route began and ended at City Hall, taking a circular route along the Thames to Westminster, via the City, Fleet Street, the Strand and the Southbank (via the Queen's Walk).

SITE PLAN:

The below map shows the 'London Frame' within its Site.  It shows detail of proposed paving that would direct the viewers attention to significant landmarks within the frame.

About Me

I am an Australian living in the UK.  I'm currently a first year Landscape Architecture student at Kingston University, London. I have previously studied Town Planning at UNSW, Sydney. 

I have always been interested in the urban environment, especially with the ways that we shape and use the landscape we live in.

Hopefully this blog will share my thoughts, inspirations, designs and ideas that I have during my time at Kingston and beyond.
