LANDSCAPE DESIGN PORTFOLIO
LEITH
In this group project we had to redesign the dockland area of Leith, in Edinburgh. The whole project was focused in urban design and waterfront regeneration, which are specially fragile areas.
The concept for our proposal was interaction, we wanted people to interact with water, open spaces, with the built environment and with other people.
The design has a set of green open corridors that create views towards the major landmarks in the city of Edinburgh. It also features a linear park that goes all over the edge of the land with water. Most of the proposed buildings are perimeter blocks and
perimeter blocks which allows each building to have a private sheltered area. Most of the buildings will be flats with a groundfloor used for commercial purposes or other services.
