Emma Atkinson: Landscape Architect & Garden Designer

Before & After This task consisted of taking a series of photos of our site from a residents perspective. My photos were taken at my site in Twinkle Park, Deptford. I took most of my photos standing from pavements, the road or from the doorways of residents homes. Below are two of my photomontages of my site looking at both before and after: 1. Before After 2. Before After  Before  After  Location Plan - After  Location Plan- Before My proposals in each of my photomontages is to fill the existing pond with water, attracting wildlife as well as children to the park. I think water in he park is a key element being situated so close to the River Thames, therefore I have also introduced water play elements that encourage children to interact with water more.

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.

My proposal plans to resurface the existing decking, to a more suitable less slippery alternative, such as resin bound gravel.

 Project 4 was our first group project that focused on creating an A3 survey book of our journey falling the route from Stockwell Street to Sayes Court, Deptford. We worked as a team to produce a short expressive film, and an A3 survey document with photos of the site included. There were a variety of topics that we had to choose from to investigate individually. My chosen topic was to investigate Transport routes through Greenwich/Deptford. I took time investigating a variety of different routes including bus, bike, pedestrian, train, river boat and tube routes. Below is the front cover of the A3 book, as well as the pages that represented my chosen topic. Below is the link to the complete book & the video: https://issuu.com/browniecanfly/docs/book_presentation_4thmarch_2016
