A landscape for recycling: The temporary scheme which Livingston Eyre Associates has carried out on a university campus makes a virtue of necessity
Article Abstract:
The University of East London is developing its campus at Stratford and landscape architect Livingston Eyre Associates has been assigned to change perceptions and usage of the outdoor space known as The Green. The space was previously hostile to pedestrians and an interim landscape scheme has made it a hum of pedestrian activity. The landscape will only be temporary as it will eventually be built on. It features strident geometry with paths slicing diagonally through orthogonal beds, further accentuated by changes in levels. The materials can be dismantled and recycled when construction work begins.
