The River Severn

Conceptual Development - Alney Island

I wanted to create a park that connected to the site better to the wider fabric of Gloucester. Site specific detail of the river was imprinted throughout the site, through water features and site layout. The concept of fluidity was from the surrounding river, it gave the site adaptable space, seasonal change, and fluid spaces. It connects people to the history of the site, highlighting the importance of the River Severn.

These sketches helped me achieve the flow within the design, playing with topography forms while creating a practical design that connects people to nature.

The River Severn trace created places within the site and gave direction to Alney Island.
