TASK 5: LINE- Survey/Biography

TASK 5: LINE- Survey/ Biography

This was a three week project focusing on mapping survey's of the area of our chosen site.

Location Plan:

My location plan presents an overview of Greenwich and Deptford whilst splitting the area into three sections. This plan consists of 4 layers representing the location of the local schools, places of worship, public transport connections and sites that are of specific interest. During this mapping process of the different elements it was interesting to how well areas of Greenwich are connected by public transport in contrast with Deptford. I also discovered quite a surprising amount of places of worship spread evenly throughout Deptford and Greenwich.

Detailed Survey Plan:

My detailed plan focuses on one third of the site of the area in front of the Old Royal Naval College.

I have included multiple layers, which can be seen below, representing many of the different features within the site. I feel through placing myself in the landscape I managed to gain a real understanding of the area itself when recording specific details.

Project 5: Intervention Site Survey & Analysis

The aim of this task was to choose a location for a landscape intervention. My chosen site was Twinkle Park, Deptford, the surrounding residential area and the local community space/allotments. Below are a series of diagrams that have enabled me to analysis the site and take into consideration the existing features of the site and what suitable proposals to the site there could be.

Illustrator Practice

Each week I spend two days working in a multidisciplinary practice, working alongside the landscape team gaining invaluable knowledge and skills on my journey to becoming a landscape architect. Today I focused on creating a constraints and opportunities diagram for a site in Croydon in which we are working on. Using illustrator I managed to create the two diagrams below: Opportunities Diagram: Constraints Diagram:
