TfL intends to provide a first class bus station at Kingston Cromwell Road that significantly improves the customer experience for visitors and local residents. By improving the bus station TfL can enhance a key gateway to Kingston town centre.

The proposed design is fully integrated and connected to the surrounding environment.

The canopy will sit at low level and consist of a light weight steel structure held on a brick plinth that sets a datum for seating, planters and other street furniture. The covering material is translucent and will provide sufficient natural light for the waiting environment.

The structure of the buildings is Structural Insulated panels (SIP’s) and bricks are used as the protective external skin.

Professional Project

Kingston Cromwell Road Bus Station is one of the most significant Redevelopment of TfL Buses. The project includes demolition of the existing bus station and replacing it with two new buildings which include a mixture of operational facilities, customer facilities and retail uses. They are connected by a steel canopy approximately 685sqm. The bus station island has been substantially widened to provide high quality space for passengers and pedestrians passing through.

The design approach for the redeveloped bus station has been to connect the site to the wider urban realm. To achieve this, the orientation of the buildings and canopy structure has been adjusted to face the town centre providing a clear, open and accessible bus station.

Bespoke banquette sitting

One the main spaces in the west building is the bus driver’s mess room. It is a space with plenty of natural light, equipped with the necessary facilities such as kitchen, toilet and dinner tables.

The bespoke banquette sitting area made of plywood, gives a more warm atmosphere on the space.

River Lee Pedestrian and Cycling Link Crossing

Transport for London

CANNING TOWN LONDON

Within the context of the adjoining Borough’s Housing Zone initiatives and other nearby developments, there is a renewed impetus to deliver improvements to the existing movement network in this location and form better links to Canning Town station and other public transport infrastructure.

The Leaway (formerly known under the working title of ‘The Fatwalk’) forms the connective spine of the Lea River Park. The Lea River Park project connects the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to the Royal Docks and River Thames with new continuous public parklands.

The arches would be the predominate daytime look of the structure. The full beam would be visible at times to expose the true nature of the structure.

The two piled areas would act as a breathing space for the public, these areas could be wider to allow pedestrians and cycles to pass safely. The increased width could allow for seating/softer features such as planting.

The widened area would allow for a low level skirt to be introduced which

Canada Water Bus Station Redevelopment

Transport for London

CANNADA WATER LONDON

The purpose of this report is to further define the requirement of the project, whether the structure should be repaired or replaced.

Canada Water Bus Station opened in 1999 as part of the Jubilee Line Extension. It is a distinctive design with a lower level glass covered walkway, and a higher level enclosed area which was originally an architectural lighting feature.

There has been a recurring issue with spontaneous glass breakages at the station, which could either be caused by Nickel Suphide Inclusion or vandalism.

MARTIN ERIKSSON architect EVI KLIMOU architectural Assistant

The glass-roofed bus station was designed by Eva Jiřičná.

It is a hub for services in the Rotherhithe and Bermondsey areas as well as an interchange for the tube station. Its most distinctive feature is a row of 16 m (52 ft)-long roof spans cantilevered from a row of central columns supporting a 100 m (330 ft)-long glass and aluminium canopy. This provides acoustic protection to the residential blocks and shelters passengers waiting below.

FACILITY BUILDING

CLAPHAM JUNCTION LONDON

Client: TfL Total sqm: 10 sqm

Completion: 2017 Budget: £100,000 Apart from TfL’s public face there are projects referring to the TfL workforce. In the case of St. John’s Bus Stand there is the need of a facility building for the bus drivers.

On the site right now there is a prefabricated unit in a very poor condition which is not complying with TfL’s standards. The works of the project is the removal of the existing unit and replace it with a new building. The building should be small, cheap and easy to build, as the necessity is immediate and has to complete during this summer.

Academic Project

Greece is facing an unprecedented refugee emergency with new record arrival numbers particularly on Greek island such as Lesvos.

HOT SPOTS OR COMMUNITIES?

The Masterplan is designed according to real population data that responds to the needs of the refugees for survival, education, culture while offering them opportunities for employment, an essential requirement for creation of a sense of common belonging.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Forming the Module following the nature

The project explores the question of refugee accomodation, a solution to the humanitarian crisis in Europe and Greece particularly as the entrance to Europe.

It further explores means for the creation of a refugee community . Features of this community reach beyond mere survival to include productivity and sustainability understood as neccessary requirements for discent living coditions.

Academic Project

The idea is to use directly the earth “beneath your feet” as the material of construction. Here it happens simply by filling in between the provided frameworks for the walls by earth. The roof panels filled by the earth may also act as flower panels to produce groceries. This simple method corresponds to the local climate as well as providing a natural life cycle that prevents the earth from pollution.

Transition architecture between the ancient traditional urban pattern and modular compact urban fabric creating voids as common spaces and courtyards where private and public spaces interact but do not overlap, connected together to enhance social interaction and intimacy, interaction with your neighbors can play a crucial role as a therapy ¬¬¬in reconstructing the broken social fabric.

The proposal is a extensional flexible system and the resulting urban pattern works though the housing typology. Flexibility reached with balanced modules giving a particular user’s needs for future extension.

The aim of the thesis is the improvement of the quality of public space in densely populated areas with strong elements of decline, exploing ways to recover and revitalize it. The project tens to propose a model toward the direction of integrating building blocks and utilizing open air space to meet the needs of the neighbourhood, as far as public space and green areas are concerned.
