Golden Lane Estate.


Great Arthur’s House

Our new group project for our design module. We visited the site on the 2/02/2010. Very exciting, a very miserable day mind. The end project is to produce a master plan for the entire site of Golden Lane Estate in London. Unlike a lot of people in our class I loved the site I thought it was very cool and an exciting place to be. In context it’s next to the barbican in London and is almost over shadowed by it. People tend to walk through most of the spaces instead of spending time within the space and there’s a big lack of GREEN! However it has so much potential.

Other issues considered on site:

Access, Maintenance, How people use the space, Cultural, Architectural, Views, Lighting, Plants and tress, water, transport, car parks and boundaries.

Needs to be uplifted in so many ways and GREEN!! Seriously lacking green! We walked into one area of the estate that did have a green lawn and it was so lovely it really made you feel there was hope amongst all the concrete.
