To create a self Dutch culture t learn and play. dam Noord and
zeeburg 02 Zeeburg Island, which is 120 hectares in size, is located in the capital city of the Netherlands, Amsterdam. The Netherlands is bordered by the North Sea and the island of Zeeburg lies in the River Ij 3km east of the centre of Amsterdam and between 1-2km north of the recent development of Ijburg. In the past Zeeburg was the home to Amsterdams sewage works, which has now been relocated elsewhere, leaving a vast derelict open space.

f sustaining, vibrant mixed-use development in-keeping with the that provides a rich and exciting range of places to live, work, . Zeeburg will complete the green link connecting Ijburg, Amsterd South Amsterdam
concept
t development + masterplan The vision has been achieved by studying the close Dutch relationship with water and living. This relationship has created the opportunity for a large variety of residential sectors and housing types, ranging from high density blocks to boat houses on the water. In-keeping with the Dutch culture, water has been pulled into the island of Zeeburg through the method of cut and fill. This approach constructs and forms the land that the residential, commercial and urban areas will be established on.
Green Infrastructure
Open green space Green bridge Urban wetlands Agricultural land Green motorway screening Land designated for boat housing
Pedestrian Links Shared space Pedestrian and cycle access
Transport Links
This process is sustainable, as seen on the masterplan, as the balance of cut and fill is predominately equal.
Shared space Road access Tramway links
The existing transport links through Zeeburg allow rapid access to both residential and urban hub activities. The theories of shared space and car free environments grant a safe place to learn and play outdoors. The green infrastructure throughout Zeeburg of woodland, open grassland, wetlands, tree lined roads and paths and agricultural land allows the green corridor from the north to the south of Amsterdam to be completed. Zeeburg is no longer just a stepping stone for transport systems and open wasteland, it is now a vibrant green connection lending itself to the growing population of Amsterdam and a destination in its own right.

‘urban hub
‘
The ‘Urban Hub’ will be pedestrian and cycle friendly due to restricting vehicular access to delivery and emergency services only. This area will provide Zeeburg with a variety of services such as; local shops, natural food markets, bars, restaurants, butchers, bakery, apartments, commercial, business offices and hotels. The ‘Urban Hub’ provides recreational services also, with the outdoor swimming pool and beach area. Many of the buildings will have green roofs to encourage biodiversity, and at street level they will be lined with trees.
liveable streets green links
Green links integrate the residential, green space and active wedge across Zeeburg, and provide biophilic stepping stone to the surrounding urban areas; Amsterdam Central, Amsterdam North, South and Ijburg. Car free green links are a sustainable and safe way of transport through Zeeburg, promoting and maintaining the active lifestyle of Amsterdam.

Leeds urban food web
The site for the urban green project is the old Tetley Brewery on the south bank of the River Aire which runs through Leeds. The brewery buildings on site have mostly been demolished and it is currently being used as a temporary carpark. The Tetley building remains as it is listed, and there are plans for that to become an art gallery.
Heavy industry is in decline due to advances in technology and the south bank of Leeds is renowned for being very industrial and lacking in green space. A lot of these industries have closed down and are creating large areas of wasted land which otherwise could be used for recreation, therefore this site is a prime area for an urban green park.

design + community “I would like to create a playground where children can engage with the natural environment through outdoor education. The children will be allowed to experience natural play, which encourages problem solving, sharing, social skills, the development of motor skills and coordination. These life skills are crucial for the development of a growing child. My design incorporates the idea of zoning for different activities and areas. The playground is split up into two areas, educational and play. The play area is then broken down into activity zones, the quiet zone, climbing and balancing zone, sand pit and den building zone and the grass mounds with tunnels zone. These zones allow children to practice those crucial life skills. The play zone has been created so that teachers and staff can see the children at all times. The educational zone includes an outdoor classroom, wildlife pond and a wildlife zone where children can build bug houses and learn about habitats. Some of the features within the educational area are natural, such as the log seating in a semi circle�.

The vision for Torver Common is to bring it to life through retaining a sense of nature by protecting and increasing wildlife and vegetation, knowledge and education of children and adults of woodland wildlife and vegetation, which can be taught by professional staff. There will be an opportunity for long and short walks, water sport activities such as canoeing, sailing and taking a boat ride on Coniston Water.
