EMBANKMENT AS IT COULD BE |
AUGMENTING A MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORT HUB |
LONDON, UK
“Embankment as it could be” explores an augmented vision for London’s Victoria embankment and Charring Cross Station. The site’s current raisin d’etre as a multi-modal transport hub is interrogated and ultimately refashioned in a manner which synthesizes the various transport nodes together with a reactivated waterfront and park. Beneath vast timber-concrete composite canopies, the underground station is excavated to reveal tiers of public life into which the surrounding park cascades.
