Trinity buoy wharf public space design By Sidiqa Rasolee
Trinity Bouy wharf
Location analysis • The site's design is unappealing and inappropriate for visitors. There is no seating available, and there is no place to sit and rest. Containers and parking consume up 40% of the available space, which might be used for lounging areas, cafés, and other amenities. There is no greenery, park, playgrounds/interaction places, or wheelchair accessibility. A closer look at the Bouy's surroundings reveals that the port is in direct line with both the o2 arena and the Canary Wharf skyline, making it a perfect location for outdoor seating.

The absence of curves and the use of simple, basic, and exposed materials such as metal and glass indicate that the structure was designed and built in an industrial style. Crates are stacked on top of each other to make the structure.
History of Trinity Buoy Wharf History The Corporation of Trinity House was originally a voluntary association of shipmen and mariners and was granted a charter by Henry VIII in 1514 as "The Guild or Fraternity of the most glorious and undividable Trinity of St Clement". It received its coat of arms in 1573 and with it the authority to erect and maintain beacons, marks and signs of the sea, "for the better navigation of the coasts of England". Since then, it has been the famous company responsible for buoys, lighthouses and lightships and pioneering the techniques involved.
Trinity Buoy Wharf 1864
Trinity House established an engineering establishment at Trinity Buoy Wharf in 1869 to repair and test the new iron buoys that were being used at the time. Overcrowding quickly became an issue, therefore in 1875 the operations moved westwards into the adjacent Green's Shipyard site. With 150 engineers, platers, riveters, pattern makers, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, painters, chain testers, and laborer's employed by 1910, Trinity Buoy Wharf was a major local employer.
The Wharf was in charge of supplying and maintaining navigation buoys and lightships between Southwold, Suffolk, and Dungeness, Kent, throughout the twentieth century. Between 1947 and 1966, it was updated and largely rebuilt before being sold to the London Docklands Development Corporation on December 3, 1988.
Trinity Buoy Wharf Since Urban Space Management took over this vacant site in 1998, Trinity Buoy Wharf has seen a stream of artists, photographers, designer- makers, web designers and small businesses settle in its low-cost workspaces and studios. Home to a thriving creative community of over 500 people, Trinity Buoy Wharf is a base for English National Opera, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, Faraday School, The Big Draw and The Prince’s Foundation to name a few.
In 1998, Trinity Buoy Wharf was an empty, derelict site. Now it is a place with studios for people in the creative industries, workspace for people who work to provide transportation on the river, classrooms for education, and indoor and outdoor spaces for arts events and a wide range of activities from conferences to product launches. With careful adaption and regeneration, Trinity Buoy Wharf has kept its character whilst offering modern amenities: studio and event space, a pier, two schools, rehearsal rooms, The Orchard Cafe and Fat Boy’s Diner and 40,00 sq ft of new, innovative and sustainable Container City buildings.
Garden by the bay As part of a cooperation effort, lames Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidia & Renfro, and Piet Dudolf designed the Highline in New York. The Highline's main goal was to improve pedestrian connections on the West Side, which was seen as a viable public area for New York. While I enjoy the notion of a long bridge running through a crowded metropolis, I am disappointed by the features. Because it is a long pedestrian path, I believe it should have additional amenities and attractions to attract more people. One thing I enjoy is how the bridge's train rails have been repurposed and planted with plants. Plants, in my opinion, are required in a place like New York to improve air quality.
The garden by the bay is a nature park in the central region of Singapore. The size of the garden is 101 hectares. The park consists of three waterfronts. The Garden by the Bay is a greenery and floral displays. The Flower Dome in Cloud Forest has thousands of plants from the Mediterranean and subtropical region. The Garden has waterfalls surrounding the 22m high skyway from the super trees. This allows tourist view to marina bay and Singapore skyline. The garden by the bay was intended to be Singapore's art premier urban outdoor creation space and national icon.
These tree-like structures convey a beautiful, natural scenery which makes up the garden by the bay. Its colossal formation give tourists a chance to look at the world from higher ground, just like how it's shown in these secondary images. These 'trees' or 'plants' give an impression to visitors that they are on a treetop, and especially for younger tourists, they would find this attraction a fun place.
Millenium park
Millennium Park is a public park located in the Loop community area of Chicago in Illinois operated by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and managed by MB Real Estate. The park was intended to celebrate the third millennium and is a prominent civic center near the city's Lako Michigan shoreline. Planning of the park began in October 1997.Construction began in October 1998, and Millennium Park was opened in a ceremony on July 16, 2004, four years behind schedule. Some observers consider Millennium Park the citv's most important project since the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893. It far exceeded its originally proposed budget of $150 million. The final cost of$475 million was borne by Chicago taxpayers and private donors. The city paid $270 million; private donors paid the rest and assumed roughly half of the financial responsibility for the cost overruns. The construction delays and cost overruns were attributed to poor planning, many design changes, and cronyism.
The architect of this amazing idea of using millennium to create lots of different pavilions and buildings has done an incredible job. 1 really love how the pavilions are oversized, which makes the environment look grand. The pavilion at the top left, which is also called The Bean is made in such way in which it reflects the image off the sky in an Interesting way which it bends and makes it smaller as seen in the picture

Thames view barrier research The Thames Barrier Park is a 7-hectare (17.3-acre) park in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham and is named after its location on the north side of the River Thames next to the Thames Barrier. It is intended to aid" the regeneration of the area by creating an attractive public space alongside residential and commercial developments. It is adjacent to Pontoon Dock DLR station. The site was built on what was one of the country's most polluted sites, the former PR Chemicals factory. Decontaminating the site took many years and was done with painstaking precision.
Themes barrier drawings Patel Taylor, an award-winning architect, collaborated with Allain Provost, a landscape architect, to create Thames Barrier Park. The park was created to create a modern state in London's Royal Docks. Because the park was created on a hazardous location in the past, they utilized 6-foot layers of crushed concrete to lay new soil that would not be harmed by the old. There is a café, a gazebo, basketball courts, and even a playground for children in this park. I believe that this park makes good use of space and provides a range of common places and facilities for all park visitors. The park's flow is very appealing to me because it directs visitors to the pavilion.
