Nottingham island site- Cascade
DESIGN AIMS The design emphasis the hierarchies of landscape relate to the function of proposal - creating a new central business district. Series of green spaces forms hierarchy like cascade to achieving design objectives: 1. Variety of spaces provide programme for different user groups. The main user on site are offices workers, the design will fulfil their daily needs, such as commuting, co-therapy, after work activities. Apart from them, people from all walks of society is welcomed to site, to participating events like weekend markets. 2. Establishing ecological rich green spaces with high aesthetic value and function. The naturalistic theme different from traditional CBD practice to create a human landscape. 3. To become a coherent part of the wider context, roads and infrastructure connects to the existing facilities. The cascade is form by changing in landforms, spatial quality and dynamic vegetation changing through times.

LIFE, SPACE AND TIME
The programmes take place in spaces with two hierarchy, space and time. Cascade of space The landform gradually goes up direct the journey. Cascade of time The vegetation in different secession stages at different space. The function of space also consider the difference of users during weekdays and weekend.

BUFFER WOODLAND AND PATH The perspective illustration and plan at top shows the threshold between buffer woodland and therapeutic pocket park. A path with slope narrowed by building with dense swale planting mark the entrance of a soft and sensitive space. The buffer woodland already filter the urban noise away while the entrance slow down people’s walking pace.
B
BIO-SWALE STREET The detail plan and the perspective illustration on right shows the threshold between the busy street and the edge of buffer woodland. A linear retention pond with aquatic plants and reeds creates a smooth transition to the woodland edge. The two banks of pond has a contrast of urban to nature. The paving material change provide continuity of path to a more formal space in front of the shopping mall.

Creating a human habitat with woodland feeling through sustainable housing and planting. -Diverse housing typology

There are large private gardens available for ground floor residents which can be the edge of Sharrow woodland. 2.Terrace house LSC330 Shang Lou Terrace houses have access to their private gardens.
