CODY DOCK
LAYERS OF HISTORY
Originally built in 1871, Cody Dock was constructed by the Imperial Chemical Company for the purpose of unloading coal from barges that was used to produce coal gas (town gas) and distribute the factory’s many by-products, such as soap and the pigment Prussian Blue.
Cody Dock and the surrounding properties were taken over by the Docklands Development Corporation in the early 90’s and much of the surrounding land was parcelled off for redevelopment into the business parks that still remain.
The dock was later purchased by the Gaslight and Coke Company who also owned the Beckton gasworks which became the largest gasworks in Europe. After being taken over by British Gas, the dock and its associated factory buildings fell into decline from the late 1960’s with all production coming to a close in the early 1980’s.
In November 2009 the charity Gasworks Dock Partnership was formed by local residents as a not-for-profit organisation, to provide a community led regeneration vehicle with the aim of opening up public access to the Lower Lea River and restoring the dock. Creating a regeneration vehicle for conservation, environmental and cultural benefits

PLAYFUL THEME AT CODY DOCK FROM INDUSTRIAL TO PLAYFUL CHARACTER
CODY DOCK IS LOCATED IN INDUSTRIAL ZONE. HOWEVER, THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND ALL ACTIVITIES HAPPENING ON THE SITE ARE IMPROVING NOT ONLY THE ECOLOGY BUT ALSO THE CHARACTER. THERE ARE MANY EXAMPLES OF PLAYFULNESS INTERMS OF THE DESIGN AS WELL AS EVIDENCE OF RECYCING WITH A PLAYFUL APPROACH.

Therapeutic Horticultural Pavilion
Staff and students from the University of Westminster have the great opportunity of designing and building a new QHT funded Therapeutic Horticultural Pavilion at Cody Dock.
This is a fantastic opportunity for students to gain direct, hands-on experience of the design and construction process, enhancing and broadening their range of skills, and developing their confidence through dealing with stakeholders and construction professionals.
Students are applying their academic learning to professional contexts thus enhancing confidence whilst widening their un derstanding of the complex relationships between stakeholders. Live projects help applying students’ technical and social skills. Whilst the focus is on the practical ‘impact’ of the work, a primary driver is the development of ‘soft-skills’.
Live projects provide a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between spatial, political, financial and social factors in connection with our lived urban experience. Our innovative approach uses Live Design Projects as a way to understand issues and ask questions. Reaching outside the academic environment widens access beyond the usual boundaries and encourages broad knowledge exchange with the aim to create more sustainable communities.
Championing the research value of Live Design Projects as a way of engagement, exploring change and promoting immersive and new ways to generate knowledge.
We introduce new ways of working collaboratively and take our multidisciplinary skills within academia and use these to serve communities and have a positive impact on society whilst introducing students and staff to alternative practice.
www.openstudiowestminster.org/beyond-studio/live-design-practice/
The, ‘bottom-up’ approach and action research results in greater direct impact of Live Design Projects within local communities. Through investigating and developing spatial, social and economic processes, around the principles of accessibility, usership and localism, we are enhancing cooperative and economic sustainability.

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES AND CONSTRUCTION SKILL CENTERS
After a survey in 2013, it was identified that London was a missing link in the national network of training groups. Therefore, it is crucial to fill the skills gaps and propose further development for the construction industry. Simultaneously, to enhance local engagement of people interested in acquiring the required skills to work at construction sites near them. Builders are the most indemand trade across the UK and rank in the top ten paid trades. However, according to the statistics, the lack of apprenticeships is highly impacting the skill shortage in the construction industry - at 27%. Disappointingly, the construction sector has made minor progress for the past 60 years compared to others, such as Utilities, agriculture and more.
