Woolwich Squares International Design Competition

ロンドン、ウールリッチ中心部にあるジェネラル・ゴードン・スクエアとベレスフォード・スクエアのリデザイン。この計画は、ロンドンの「100パブリックスペース・プログラム」の一環として行われる。1.2ヘクタールの面積を持つ2つのスクエアの再開発によって、北のテムズ河岸開発、南のウールリッチ公園つなぐ重要な役割を持つことになる。参加者には、他分野にわたるスキルと経験が求められる。

Description
The Council and its partners are launching a competition to appoint a team to re-design General Gordon Square and Beresford Square in Woolwich Town Centre. The re-design will play a key part in linking Woolwich Town Centre to the riverside developments to the north and Woolwich Common to the south. The Woolwich Squares site area includes over 1.2 hectares of public realm space at the heart of Woolwich Town Centre.

High profile project
The team will need to be of sound financial standing and have considerable skills and experience in:
- hard and soft landscape design
- environmental sustainability and sustainable design and construction
- strategy development and project implementation
- community consultation and facilitation
- landscape and town centre mangement
- town and transport planning.

This project will form part of the Mayor’s 100 Public Spaces Programme. The Programme aims to create or upgrade one hundred public spaces in London. It will demonstrate the difference improved public space can make, and the ways in which the highest quality designs can be secured without excessive expenditure.
