Alney Island has a variety of habitats with high biodiversity. At the top around the causeway and the A40 is an old deciduous forest, opposite of Castlemeads in which grasslands, parks and meadows are the main habitats, meanwhile the center focus on food and animals growing like grazing and agriculture.
ALNEY ISLAND - Setting ou plan - Tree pit
The island of Alney is surrounded by two streams of the River Severn, which has the island name thanks to this characteristic. It is classified as level 3 with a high risk of flooding because it is located within the river course and has clay soil in most of the land, causing water to accumulate on the surface. The course of the flood runs from the northeast of the site to Oxlease and ends in two different ways, Castlemeads to the parking lot and with two ponds
Alney Island has six different roads that connect with the city centre, such as the A430 and A4301, which presents a high volume of traffic, preventing the mobilization and tranquillity of the site. On the contrary of other roads have more limitations and a lower flow of vehicles due to the availability of a single lane. Therefore, despite a large number of streets, traffic continues to contaminate residents and workers in the area. A possible solution is the creation of routes for pedestrians that connect directly with the city centre and have a better union with the bus stops, generating the least use of vehicles. In addition, bridges located from areas with a high tourism index can attract visitors such as from the prison (Barrack Square road) and the Cathedral (Westgate road)
DEEPER MEANING
CONCEPTS
The power of Alney Island has always been the adaptability of being able to create life and death at the same time, having adversities such as battles, floods or even the passage of time. This territory is more than a habitable space for recreation or well-being, but it is a vital part of the natural cycle of life. It is part of the heart, which constitutes the habitats found on the site and its biodiversity, but not only that but the close relationship between nature and man, which is linked to the island by the landmarks that are now fundamental part of the area
ALNEY ISLAND AND CASTLEMEADS
ALNEY ISLAND AND CASTLEMEADS Alney Island is a site between rural and urban, bringing up duality and union at the same time, meeting man and environment in a balanced and centre section like a vital heart for harmony and prosperity. Therefore, the concept has been focused on duality and union two words that contradict but reflects an unpredictable land such as Alney island. For the project, I focused on connecting man and the environment but at the same time mitigating flooding issues and climate change. Wetland city adapts people into the natural environment admiring dualities such as life and death, land, and water. Furthermore, the form of habitats is parallel to each other but intercepts with hard materials and buildings, bringing up the distance and the union by bridges.

Castlemeads has been an area of great importance to the city of Gloucester because it connects the LEGEND urban and rural sectors. The area has therefore been considered de-Woodland veloped land, but at the same time incorporates the wealth of biodi- Wetland versity and a variety of habitats that Gloucestershire has, such asPlanting wall woodland, farmland and wetlands.Houses

HYDROLOGY AND VEGETATION STRATEGY
HARD MATERIAL STRATEGY
The main body water is divided through the site into two retention ponds and wetlands configuration and giving form to the riversde houses.
The SUDs is based on the collection of water by Green roofs, filter on Bioretention planters, infiltration on rain gardens, controlling the current with permeable paving, helping connect and transport by swales and channels, going into retention ponds and wetlands for regional control and finally going to the main watercourse River Severn
The hard materials were chosen with the idea of fitting the SUDs strategy by adding porous, durable, resistant, materials and possibly made from recycling. The colour palette was chosen to contrast between steel bridge and brick building
CONCEPT: Duality and unity
PLANTING PLAN SEASONAL COLOURS The new design is divided between wetland, woodland, bioretention, rain gardens and grassland habitats. The species are mostly native native plants to preserve biodiversity and protect Gloucester identity. The light colours contrast with hard materials

MOVEMENT ON WATER The idea of a furniture design was part of showing Gloucesters identity and making a multifunctional sculpture for the site, so the shape was inspired by the River Severn when it splits into two canals and then joins north again. - The colours have variations for the recognition of nearby places - The materials of the furniture are recycled plastic and concrete -The location can be near the source of the flood, to try slow down the speed of water - The design is multifunctional and adaptable to a diversity of people.
