TEAM N4 - VISION B1

NORTH PARK HUB & PLAYGROUND

Play Hub ideas sketch

Set view from west

The inspiration for our project is to provide a local city park for London within the national and International Olympic Park. The park will be an e nvironment suitable for children of all

ages. A place to play, relax and experience nature in the city. The North Hub is the gateway to the park for the communities of east London and the new communities of Cobham and the

Olympic village. Our aim is to create a civic corner that opens into a community building that in turn ac ts as a entrance to the Olympic park and the River Lea.

Play inspirations

East facing planting

EAST FACINGBorrowing views to the meadow grassland planting of the adjacent park and drawing on the cool green landscapeof an English deer park, this area incorporates native grassland and meadow species,Quercus Rober (Englishoak),Carpinus Betulus (Hornbeam),with a scattering of white- flowered perennials.

EXOTIC TREESSpecies with vivid coloured flowers such as Cercis siliquastrum (Judas tree),Paulownia tormentosa,(which isparticularly suited to industrial sites),and acacia, are concentrated near the hub then woven into the length ofthe dry riverbedzone,providing points of reference throughout the bark.

CROSSOVER GARDENSWhere the east and west facing planting schemes meet,flower gardens incorporating the perennial species of

each are created.

DRY RIVERBEDHere,where the two dominant zones converge,an extremely sparse planting which references the post industriallandscape of canalsides is used grassland combined with colonisers such as epilobium angustifolium (rosebay

willowherb),buddleja,betula nigra (river birch), and even ficus carica (fig) which self seeded along urban canals.

WEST FACINGUsing a warmer colour palette to make the most of evening sunlight,this area includes grasses such as moliniaand deschampsia,prairie perennials such as rudbeckia,helenium and Echinacea,shrubs such as rhus glabra forvivid autumn colour,and native trees species,malus (crab apple), acer campestre (field maple),betula pendula(silver birch).
