Vauxhall Promenade of Curiosities

J&L Gibbons LLP

Vauxhall One worked with the RIBA, Landscape Institute and the Garden Museum to commission creative urban and landscape design proposals, with the aim of reconnecting the disjointed parts of the neighbourhood, to build a better visual perception of Vauxhall beyond its roundabouts and roads and to create an identifiable pathway and narrative through the area, linking the railway arches, green spaces and public art into a distinctive place once again.The challenge was to propose ways of connecting the parks, gardens and walkways into a coherent and exciting green trail, from Vauxhall Park and the Pleasure Gardens, north to Lambeth Palace and beyond.

Brief

During a time of large scale investment, with development schemes along Albert Embankment, Battersea Power Station and the new Damien Hirst gallery the study seized the opportunity to face up to the challenge of vehicular traffic and hard landscaping, disconnected places and railway arches to create vibrant green links and strong urban connections. The framework proposals are biased towards more sustainable forms of transport, championing sustainable urban drainage and greening in an area with limited access to nature.
