The overground station is fully enclosed in a concrete box structure (see photo3) so that future building works on the rest of the Bishopsgate site can be carried out without requiring the line to close in the future. The space beneath and surround the viaduct railway (see photo2,5) are mostly fenced or used as temprotrary car park, and some are sports pitch or skate park. wild plantings are growing spontaneously on the wall mound(see photo4) . Many young people came here for chilling out at Box Park(see photo1) , wandering around market and and having night life. the site looks nasty, sometime with cracked glass and wastes.

5. Site development and mangement THE NEW BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT(BID) PROJECT IN THE EAST OF CENTRAL LONDON Business Improvement Districts are local organisations which collect a compulsory levy from businesses (or property owners) in a defined spatial area, represent the interests of the business community, and deliver additional services and area improvements of benefit to business. They represent a self-financing mechanism for local business communities to improve the trading environment, over and above any support from the public sector. BIDs are being developed in a number of areas across London. They helped to improve their local economic performance. Turnover generated by firms in these areas grew by 4% in seven years. The area of Bethnal Green; parts of Spitalfields and Shoreditch has been identified as a potential locations around Central London to become the next BID - East End BID area.

Case studies - old brick wall landscape RMIT urban space, Melbourne A cacophony of cluttered streets, laneways, dead-ends and hidden courts, is now a pedestrian-friendly campus of visual delight and interest. Its main feature is a big stairway that links University Way through an arch in the old Gaol walls to Alumni Court beyond.
Alumni Court is a large walled courtyard with direct access from the campus through to Russell Street. It is a retreat space away from the bustle of the city – a place to pause and contemplate or run around on the lawn. It is also an event space for large marquees and festivals. The Belvedere terrace which sits at the top of an embankment overlooks University lawn and the walls of the old Gaol.

The project creates a luminous volume you can see from the Avenue de la RÊpublique in the daytime and at night. The tunnel’s envelope made of stamped stainless sheet steel adopts the light variations of the city and establishes a lightning continuity from the street to the tunnel. The luminous volume is created by the projection of lights on the envelope of the tunnel and by the reflection of the lights and colors of the city inside the tunnel. This envelope expresses a simplicity that decreases the technical aspect of the bridge. The luminous volume is also produced by a game of contrast with the immediate accesses of the tunnel. The road under the bridge is made of sparkling asphalt in the aim of contrasting with the black asphalt outside the tunnel. Also the smooth and luminous facade of sheet steel inside contrasts with the outside dark and granular facade.
