Working to improve Waterloo

Here are some working ideas that I have been developing to improve my site in waterloo. The first image is a view into the horticutural land behind Southwark College to improve the abandoned land. The picture on the right hand side is an idea to turn the Mitre road into a homezone.

Putting the community first

At the moment I am currently working on my last project of the year, in some of my older post I have shown you my observations of an area in Waterloo. I have now changed the locatiion within waterloo that I have decided to regenerate and I feel this is more appropiate as it caters to the local community. This decision to change the location is mainly due to the initial analysis done on 'Housing in Waterloo', this made me to understand that Waterloo did not have enough areas that meet the needs of local residence. After analysing Waterloo I have come up with goals and objectives, this is highlighted in this image above which I created using adobe illustrator and adobe photoshop.

Analysing Waterloo

Having change the location for my Waterloo project I have spent some time analysing the site and its current position. My site is a residential neighbourhood within the edge of Blackfriars road and The Cut

VIEL Solar Shades

Designer: Buro North
Partnership: Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab

These solar panels do more than just transfer sunlight into energy. These innovative school panels have an organic, natural sloping design. Partially funded by the Australian government, the VEILs are designed for schoolyards where they have the practical benefit of shading tykes from the hot sun.
