Initial sketch design

I've had another go at the initial sketch design (hope you don't mind Mitti!). This is very much simplified (too simplified?), but hopefully captures our main aims. I've tried to use the same colours we are using for the land use model, where possible.
Let me have any comments...

Area Designs - revised

Please do live comments if anything is wrong in terms of position, layout, key or .. anything you see worong really...
The Area2 is on two sheets as it has a little more importance and I felt it needed to show more details.
Let me know if you don't feel the same and will try to revert to the normal area layout ...


















E&C Before and After










Sketch Design - Revised

Feel free to add comments especially if you spot irregularities in your areas.

Please revise the Legend and send some feedback

E&C design

Based on the earlier plan, here are models and sketches of the agreed E&C design. The main focus would be the new market place/open-air venue. These are also on Skydrive. The space is pushed hard up to the roads on either side with raised sides to form a sort of amphitheatre with entrances cut through. The whole is enclosed by a red 'curtain', incorporating lights (and speakers?). There would be a new bus stop/station between this and the new tube station to the north; new venue to the south (next to the Strata tower which I would dearly love to demolish, but a bit difficult to justify financially!)






And some images:

The curtains would be a sort of combination of the first two pics and misters would be included in the central area for use in performances, or just for fun!

Area 4 - The Auditorium "Circles" : (The Stations) Photos and Sketches

Art by the local school children, a new play area and seating for the Greenway/"Elephant trail" through Hatfields - between Stamford Stree and the Cut - a  largely residential area
 In line with the theme of fashion and millenery for this area, the Greenway/"Elephant trail" on the Cut passes the seasonal monthly costume & theatre fair complete with dressing tents.  The coloured concrete elephants inside the residential green are also visible
 New seating and seasonal fashion show for the Emma Cons Gardens opposite the Old Vic at the junction of the Cut and Waterloo Road.   The location near Waterloo Station attracts crowds to this and various other events and promotes the regeneration of the area
