Walking around London

In February some of the Landscape students and Architects went to london to see how you can learn alot more about the landscape from walking to each place rather then relying on public transport to get from a to b!. we met at waterloo station and then walked along the embankment to the londopn eye and looked at how new investment is being funded toi create a park for the general public in the open area which is now unused at the base of the London eye.

This work is due to start in August of this year so i will post more information about that as it begins to develop. From here we walked to here more funding has taken to place to redevelop the royal festival hall in London. Alkong the embankment here they have cerated larger areas for public space by having more outdoor restaurants and the paving used is almost like agrey lime stone but it really blends in with the new architecture being built around it and on a cold damp day like it was when we were there it still shows carecter. Also what i noticed and really likred was the way they had created the change in levals with the paving for access from diabled people and to add more carecter to the area of embankment. It looked fantastic.


Walking around london it was clear to see that there is alot of new and re- development going on both with new designs being constructed and also to prepare london for the 2012 olympic games.

With my love of photography i decided to take some rather unique images of the construction of some pof these buildings so that is was clear to see the frame work in all its beuty before cladding and other materialls are then placed over this and hide the tremendous huge framework which kjeeops these new buildings upright. Here are some of them....
