London Dockland is the river front and former docks in London. It is located in inner east and southeast London, in the boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Lewisham, Newham, and Greenwich. The docks were formerly part of the Port of London, at one time the world’s largest port. After the docks closed, the area had become derelict and poverty-ridden by the 1980s. The Docklands’ regeneration began later that decade; it has been redeveloped principally for commercial and residential use. The name “London Docklands” was used for the first time in a government report on redevelopment plans in 1971 and has since been almost universally adopted. The redevelopment created wealth, but also led to some conflict between the new and old communities in the area.

URBAN VOIDS ALONG LONDON DLR

The project began when I took the London DLR and saw the many wastelands underneath the viaducts and city tracks in East London. There are ten such lost spaces under the viaduct that were found along the journey from Bank Station to Royal Victoria station. These spaces are overgrown, littered with rubbish from years of vacancy, and turned into places with no use. The poor sanitary and lack of lighting make these areas dangerous places of crime for East London.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE DOCKS

The southern part of the site, adjacent to the new municipal building, is a space under a bridge approximately 400 metres long. These under-bridge spaces are currently enclosed by fencing. These under-bridge spaces are potential public activity spaces that could provide recreation for the surrounding residents and commuters, but they are occupied by littered autochthonous vegetation.

Space under the viaduct enclosed by fences

I selected the NO.08 site “Canning Town Station” for further study.

The site is located near the canning town station, it is a linear way starts from the canning town station and end up at the Royal Victoria Docks, where the new city hall locates. It is 1 kilometres long. The north part of the walkway is next to the DLR train track. And the south part is under the West Silvertown viaduct.

Palimpsest mapping shows information as I walk along this linear site. Including the plants I saw, and the walking experience, they were overlapping on a map by photos and sketches

In order to solve the three problems of noise, water pollution and insufficient light, the following solutions are proposed:

The above three solutions are integrated to create an out-door public space under the bridge, that is and self-sufficient in electricity and water energy. The next step is to combine these sustainable facilities with outdoor events to create an public welcomed, safe, multi-functional linear space.

Plant Microbial Fuel Cell (P-MFC) is a technology of living plants generate electricity. This technology was developed at Wageningen University and was patented in 2007.

A plant produces organic material through photosynthesis. Part of this organic material is used by the plant for its own growth, but not everything is used by the plant. This remaining part is excreted via the roots to the soil. In the soil, around the roots of the plant, bacteria break down the organic material. In this degradation process electrons are released as a waste product. The P-MFC technology ensures that we can use these electrons as electricity.

11 FOUR KEY AMBITIONS OF MULTI-FUNCTIONAL UNDER VIADUCT REGENERATION

Walking Connectivity

One of the problems with the current walking experience is the lack of accessibility. There are a total of 6 places where people are prevented from walking. By breaking down these barriers, the fragmented walking spaces will be linked into a linear space, greatly enhancing the walking experience.

BGI Servies

There are three problems with the site, which are common to most waste spaces next to the viaduct: lack of sunlight, rainwater pollution and noise pollution. In order to solve the three problems the following green solutions are proposed:

- Green anti-noise barriers

- Overpass Rainwater Purification

- Green power generation

Spontaneous protection and green power generation

In terms of enhancing the lighting of the linear walkway, I propose to provide green energy for lighting the space under the viaduct. Based on technology comes from research at Wageningen University, a microbial power plant technology to produce the electricity, which is collected and stored and transferred to the bridge for lighting.

Multifunctional Recreation

In order to meet the diverse needs of the surrounding population, three main functional spaces have been designed within the linear trail: a sports pitch, a marketplace, a theatre space and, a green energy farm. These outdoor events combine with the sustainable facilities to create an public welcomed, safe, multi-functional linear space.

Shrub barrier

This area consists mainly of colourful containers and gardens. It is located next to the Mayor’s Building and Victoria Harbour and attracts many visitors

The function of these small gardens is to collect and purify the drainage from the bridge. They help to recycle and reuse rainwater, and the beautiful plants attract visitors.

These broken floors are actually the original appearance of the ground under the bridge. The native plants that grew on them are a valuable resource to complement the city’s biodiversity and have been preserved.

There will be dining areas under the bridge for visitors to rest and gather, and the electricity consumed in these areas will be provided by green power plants.

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE & GREEN STREET

This area is located in the middle of the walkway design and is currently a busy traffic roundabout. In order to ensure the safety of pedestrians, this roundabout area has been designed to be more suitable for pedestrian use rather than vehicles. With colourful paving, urban furniture and shade trees, visitors are welcomed to the area for rest, conversation and outdoor activities. In the centre of the site is a theatre which will be a popular venue for performances in the future. Again most of the plants here are planted in green power modules, and these plant cells produce the electricity needed for lighting.

This is a popular walking area during the holidays, where you can see great musical performances and plays.

This is a traffic hub on weekdays. Be careful when driving through it, as it is a popular destination for the neighbourhood.
