Silvertown Flyover design competition: cercasi idee per ripensare un angolo dimenticato di Londra

candidature entro il 4 aprile 2017 | consegna entro il 16 maggio 2017

The London Festival of Architecture (LFA), Greater London Authority (GLA) and London Borough of Newham (LBN) lanciano il concorso di idee Silvertown Flyover, invitando i partecipanti a proporre idee per stimolare la crescita degli ambienti destinati al lavoro creativo del Royal Docks utilizzando gli spazio vuoti sotto il cavalcavia Silvertown. Viene richiesto un progetto permeabile, capace di creare un'attrazione nella zona definendo una serie di spazi destinati alla produzione, all'innovazione e alla creazione di nuove opportunità lavorative per i residenti di Newham e Londra.

Le proposte dovranno tener conto dello sviluppo dell'intera area, migliorando lo spazio pubblico circostante e intervenendo in modo tale da migliorare la leggibilità del sito, impostando l'intervento come un elemento fondamentale nell'ambito delle infrastrutture della zona. 
Sono invitati a partecipare architetti, designer e creativi emergenti che avranno la possibilità di dare una risposta alle sfide logistiche offerte dal sito. 

The London Festival of Architecture (LFA), Greater London Authority (GLA) and London Borough of Newham (LBN) invite you to submit ideas to this new competition for solutions for improving connectivity and increasing the amount of creative workspace in the Royal Docks, by utilising vacant space under the Silvertown flyover.

The commission requires that you develop a viable and deliverable project. A permeable space is needed that creates a distinct and attractive area, with a range of spaces for working, production and innovation, creating new employment opportunities for Newham residents and Londoners.

We also seek proposals that take into account the development coming forward in the area, including your ideas for interventions in the surrounding public realm and wayfinding interventions that improve legibility in the area. You should set out how your project might function as a key piece of connective infrastructure over the next 2, 5 and 10 years as surrounding development and infrastructure projects come forward for development.

ELIGIBILITY

Competition is open to established and emerging architects, designers and creatives to create a response to the opportunity and logistical challenges that this forgotten space under the flyover can provide.

AWARD
