October 2008 - Part of our technical & theory module - a visit to Thames Barrier Park to select and survey an area of the site and build a scaled contour model in studio.
On previous visits to the park I have always found it to be empty, quite possibly because it's been mid-week but the days have been sunny and clear.....since it is so far out of my zone, I do wonder if it attracts the local families, mums and babes and other outside adventurers that the website makes a delightful appeal to:
''Set within 22 acres of lawns, trees and uniquely contoured Yew and Maygreen hedges you can discover the delights of this urban oasis. An excellent children's play area, 5 a side football/basketball court, great places to picnic and play, the Thames path, with magnificent views of the barrier, and a fountain plaza where 32 jets spring from the ground to provide a cooling and entertaining delight for children to splash and play.'' http://www.thamesbarrierpark.org.uk/
