LANDSCAPE DESIGN PORTFOLIO
UNION CANAL
The project’s main aim is to maintain and increase the role of connectivity in this site.
Its a key aspect of the site as it is part of the sidepath that follows the canal all its way.
The design is composed by a series of steps which are used to add more routes towards the top of the bridge (left) and can be used as ampitheatre seating for perfomances. At both ends of the site there are stairs, and running diagonally to the steps there Is a ramp. The area along the canal will have a fast lane of tarmac to keep the flow of runners and cyclists, and quieter route along the edge of the canal.
At the top of the steps there will be bench
that will act as a seating area, shelter and
fence (see model on the left).
Along the whole site there is a set of concrete
structures, which will be used for art
installations.
