UNCOVERING LANDSCAPE : A NARRATIVE OF FORGOTTEN SPACE
Abstract
The thesis is an investigation of inbetween landscapes
and seeks to develop an understanding of them. The
inbetween is fluctuant, typically misunderstood and
underutilized as a result. Particularly in cities such as
London, these landscapes are being eroded away due to
the pressure of urbanization. These landscapes are often
viewed as leftovers, remnants of an industrial past or a
post-industrial present.
The trajectory of these spaces is uncertain and with
the mounting pressure of urbanization action must be
immediately taken. To develop an understanding is
critical for their existence, fostering the ability to occupy a
productive position with the urban fabric.
The disparate Lee Valley Regional Park in East London
will act as the testing ground, seeking to develop an
understanding that embodies the specificity of the
local while simultaneously in dialogue with London.
Architectural instruments will act as catalyst, internally
and externally focusing landscapes, provoking our sense
of discovery and prompting us to uncover the local.
This process evolves over time, deepened by our
experiences and memories of place.
