Project 1 Collages - Impediment To Progress

Following my analysis of the site and James Corner's 'Taking Measures: Across the American Landscape (1996)' I decided to take a 3 part approach to the collages, each with a slightly different base theme with room for development. The first of these 3 collages focuses on the poetics of the site; the feelings I had when walking through the site and the main problems that stood out.

'Impediment to Progress' highlights what I believe to be the biggest problem with the site, the A206 acting as a barrier between a natural, full of life and energy, green park to the South and an industrial park to the North. In order for the site to develop in a positive way this barrier will have to be addressed and an intervention proposed. This may involved bridging over/tunnelling under the road, or could involve the pedestrianisation of part of the site and bypassing the main road.
