Master Planning
Pre-Thesis Work This group master planning project looked at the city of Galway and the proposal to develop its docklands. A series of open spaces link the new quarter with the existing fabric. The medieval fabric of the existing city is countered with a new grain, gridded streets and lanes. This grid is not simply orthogonal, like the existing fabric it kinks and shifts to block the strong westerly winds. These kinks inform the morphology of the open public spaces.
