A Walk along The South Bank.

As the title says really. Went for a field trip with Ed Wall (tutor) looking at a variety of surface materials used within the public realm. An interesting day out and makes a change from being in the studio all the time and also learnt a lot, just hope I managed to remember what all the materials were.

Here's the slideshow..............

Princess Diana Memorial

Paddington Basin > Never been here before and didn't even know it existed. I should really get out more because I can get so many idea's and inspiration from coming to places like this.

More London" few images i took of this space between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. Clean, crisp, modern urban environment. Nice!

For part of my First sights module at Kingston we went on a few field trips. The first of which was to"Innovations for the Built Environment". The most relevant aspect to us was Cityscape. An exhibition for the urban development and the management and maintenane of the public realm. Was quite interesting as we spoke to number of people in the construction idustry who were moe thatn happy to have a chat.

On the same day as the trip to Earls Court visited the London Wetland Centre which, for me was quite helpful as the project that we were currently working on involved me creating a wetland. Quite a cool place, shame the weather was awful. Got some pics though.

The plastic tree in more London. More London is a 13-acre business estate between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. The overall is by Foster and Partners.The architecture is sleek but does little to define and create good urban landscape.
