Localised along the River Thames
and close to the best monuments of
London, Vauxhall has asset features for
being an attractive area of the 21th century.
Investments and work places, neighbourhood
and night life, artistic network or history
are urban advantages put together
into a chaotic but exciting environment.
Furthermore, the station is an important nod
of connections and the main access to the area
even though the railway is a break line in the site.
Our response is to transform this array of isolated
units or programms that operate autistically, to an
intensified area of mixed uses linking with
shared spaces. Our targets are sump up in five points.
To develop a network of green andpedestrian links along the railway.
The green link is an ecological connection between the
gardens whereas the pedestrian link is a route.
Vauxhall Walk is layout with shared spaces.
Parks and gardens are designed with new programming.
Ponds are made up to increase biodiversity.
To create connections between East andWest and get closer the green link
to the RiverThames by many points of view.We imagine various ‘canopy covers’ through the arches of
the railway. Those architectural objects are stretched
outside the vaults and they cover a part of
the public realm.
To regenerate the arches by a new programs or new links.
New arches are opened to have pedestrian connections
with shops, amenities or vegetation. They create
interesting points of view such as
windows toward the River Thames.
To reorganize the network of roadsand to make up a large pedestrian square
from the bus station to Spring gardens.The traffic is bypassed on the South of the site
by Parry Street. A new square is created
and it is became a central point between the bus
station and a promenade along Albert Embankment.
To landscape the bank of the River Thames.Riparian zone is planted on some parts
of the river bank. A new pathway pass through
this area and give access to many pontoons.
They could be flooded but a part of
the pathway could float above the river.
