The space here is defined as Potter's Fields Park but
the space has been designed to flow into the surrounding
landscape with some success immediately adjacent to the
London Assembly it has alot to compete against. The main
emphasis of this site is the enjoyment of the surroundings
namely the Thames River and there has been detail
devoted solely to this such as the seating with water patterns
built into them.
The level changes on site have been delt with by subtle terraced
seating interspersed with green space overlooking some of the
best views in London.
What doesn't seem to work with the space is how rapidly it has
become worn away and there is a lack of definition and quality
to some parts of space, such as the tarmac used, considering the
prime location of the park I would expect a high quality finish
throughout.
This is a nice addition to the SouthBank Landscape which could
have been so much better defined.
