Abstract This project was briefed by Arup’s planning department and was carried out by the students of the Architectural Association, in Landscape Urbanism. The final presentation after 7 days work was presented to Arup, Haringey Council and the GLA in April 2013.

Brief The proposal was to connect the areas within Tottenham with a green corridor. This had two main areas of implementation, which were the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, connecting it to the Lee Valley Park. The second area of implementation was the area of Tottenham Hale, which connects the high street to the park through a bridge. This connection wanted to be highlighted, to draw the users through the space.

Context

Drawing on the research by Lee Valley and Finchley Ridge area Framework, which looks at the scope for development of underused connections between open parklands and the Lea valley, through which the Olympic Park and Tottenham coexist.

TOTTENHAM HALE, CONNECTING WITH THE LANDSCAPE POTENTIAL

Tottenham, London Borough of Haringey The proposal is to connect the areas within Tottenham with a green corridor. This has two main areas of implementation, which are the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, connecting it to the Lee Valley Park. The second area of implementation is the area of Tottenham Hale, which connects the high street to the park through a bridge. This connection wanted to be highlighted, to draw the users through the space.

The proposals set up looks at the large scale connections, to central London and Stansted Airport as well as the connection to the Football Stadium.

To achieve a green connection, first the area is dissected into its area usages and their value to the area, as seen on the image to the right. This highlighted a T section area for development in the Tottenham Hale area.

A key factor is to minimize displacement during the process, so therefore there was a phasing and zoning strategy put in place to rehouse and minimise displacement. These processes also highlights the maximum height of the allotted buildings, these are then taken into consideration in the final masterplan.

Short Path Finding These pages look at the mesh form taken from the important transport nodes. These nodes are given a hierarchy to denote their condition of travel, weather it be walking, driving or cycling. These are then run with a shortest walk technique and then bundled, to find the most efficient way to get from one area to another.

These have been created using the existing road layout so as to minimize displacement. These are then neatened up and given their hierarchy as seen in the page opposite.

Tottenham Hale Masterplan

Typology and Masterplan This part of the Masterplan includes the use of Typologies to create a structure framework based around the mesh. These have been designed to create interesting spaces and a green network that works over multiple levels.

The design builds on the idea of creating mixed use areas, to create a diversity not currently present. The blocks are all split into two or three of the following aspects in each block: Residential, Commercial or Retail.

The typologies shown on the opposite page show how the different aspects of the masterplan are built up and where a simple strategy of cutting, partitioning and creating open space pay the main roles in the process.

28

Typology 1 looks at creating a space that has areas of multiple connection, where the adjoining blocks bridge together on multiple levels.

Typology 2 looks at the simple cutting and partitioning the blocks to allow for open space to infiltrate.

Typology 3 looks at typology 2 but instead of creating courtyards within the building, it cuts a part of the building opening up the courtyard.

Tower Typology This page looks at the creation of a tower building typology, where like the Shard or the Gherkin, the area is given a very definite character and highlight, therefore giving the idea of a landmark and a character.

This section shows how the buildings get lower the further it is from the rail station. This is so that they don’t overshadow the existing housing blocks. Also the connection between the buildings is evident in the bottom right of this page.

The area of highlighted importance is the green and open space section, where the light green is the green open space with no green belt connection, the black outlined is the roof or climbing green spaces, the grey is non green open spaces and the dark green is the three dimensional green belt.

one chosen for its feasibility and its important connection from Tottenham Hotspur Football stadium through the train station to the Lee Valley Park.

This part of the plan uses different typologies to create the bridge structure and draws the public through from the masterplan to the park. In doing so it creates new areas for markets and small shops and cafĂŠs, as well as creating new roads, walkways and cycle paths.
