Localised along the River Thames

and close to the best monuments of

London, Vauxhall has asset features for

being an attractive area of the 21th century.

Investments and work places, neighbourhood

and night life, artistic network or history

are urban advantages put together

into a chaotic but exciting environment.

Furthermore, the station is an important nod

of connections and the main access to the area

even though the railway is a break line in the site.

Our response is to transform this array of isolated

units or programms that operate autistically, to an

intensified area of mixed uses linking with

shared spaces. Our targets are sump up in five points.

To develop a network of green andpedestrian links along the railway.

The green link is an ecological connection between the

gardens whereas the pedestrian link is a route.

Vauxhall Walk is layout with shared spaces.

Parks and gardens are designed with new programming.

Ponds are made up to increase biodiversity.

To create connections between East andWest and get closer the green link

to the RiverThames by many points of view.We imagine various ‘canopy covers’ through the arches of

the railway. Those architectural objects are stretched

outside the vaults and they cover a part of

the public realm.

To regenerate the arches by a new programs or new links.

New arches are opened to have pedestrian connections

with shops, amenities or vegetation. They create

interesting points of view such as

windows toward the River Thames.

To reorganize the network of roadsand to make up a large pedestrian square

from the bus station to Spring gardens.The traffic is bypassed on the South of the site

by Parry Street. A new square is created

and it is became a central point between the bus

station and a promenade along Albert Embankment.

To landscape the bank of the River Thames.Riparian zone is planted on some parts

of the river bank. A new pathway pass through

this area and give access to many pontoons.

They could be flooded but a part of

the pathway could float above the river.
