AUBIN TORCK, Stage 4 The Gravesham and Dartford Joint council Hall is developed as part of the Ebbsfleet Garden city urban development program. Swanscombe peninsula is chosen as a central point for a new joint council hall to appease and resolve socio-political and environmental tensions. The form was developed from the site’s overlap of natural, man made and political boundaries. Design moves integrate ideas of paradoxical contrast of tension and unity between the two councils. 47
