WHAT IS THE
?
It is about the revival of a former industrial site, a place famous for its 19th century pumping station. After more than 100 years of ecological restoration, the filter bed has been successfully transformed into a nature reserve, however, there are still many open spaces, and a good use of them can be the key to activate the area as a gathering place.
HOW THE
A place for ecological tourism and endangered plants protection. The area is currently a nature reserve, but has the advantage of being well connected to nearby communities, which requires the project to be more interactive with people. The main idea is to design on the basis of an ecotourism project, making full use of the historical sites and the nature reserve, and developing an endangered plant sanctuary to attract more people and provide more opportunities to connect urban life and nature tourism.

Middlesex Filter Beds, which now is reformed as a nature reserve. Middlesex river filter beds are located in the northeast of London, with the Walthamstow wetland reservoir in the north. The Lea river crosses the area and connects the reservoir and filter beds. Hackney marshes centre in the south, now is used as a sports centre for football. The short distance between reservoir and filter bed provides convenient transportation.

The Middlesex filter bed is located on the south side of the Walthamstow Wetland Ecosystem, in an ecologically threatened area, and the lee river connects the two sites and crosses the site. Flooding occurs during wet periods. There is snipe habitat on the south side of the site and the cricket field on the north side is considered important bird habitat. The site is of high ecological design value. Eco impact risk zone Important Bird Areas

ProposedThisarea in the middlesex filter bed is currently left unused as an abandoned parking lot. The design strategy is to convert it into a forested green space, increasing the area and integration of the nature reserve and reflecting its ecological Aroundvalue.
The high density of residential areas to the west and east of the site, where residents can walk to the site in 10 minutes, has led to a design strategy to transform this nature reserve into a more residential oriented site, finding a balance between harmonizing ecological and residential activities. The age structure of the site was analyzed to divide the population into mainly elderly people over 65 years old and children under 15 years old, and the distribution of age in the residential area was roughly calculated by the difference in color.

The material of the site is basically self-sufficient. The excavated soil of the site reaches about 200π cubic meters. By filling it in the surrounding area, a micro-topography is created, making the space change and making full use of the soil. The slope paving mainly adopts resin bound technology to naturally fix the gravel on the ground. On the pavement, part of the masonry pavement used comes from the processing of the nearby stone company, and the dead tree trunks on the site are also collected for the decoration of the undergroundspace.Materiality of the design site

The technical research part mainly focuses on the construction of underground passages on the site, the excavation and burial of earthwork in the site. The materials used for the design mainly include practical gabion nets for the walls on both sides of the underground passage, gravel on the slopes, stone bricks for the roads and landscape wooden platforms

Aesculus Hippocastanum ( Horse Chestnut) Experiments Zone
Open Day In Horse Chestnut Experiments Zone, for pest and disease prevention and protection of the tree species, the area is usually protected and inspected by specific personnel, so that if moths are found, the area can be cleared of fallen leaves immediately to stop the spread of eggs. Direct access to the site is usually restricted to the general public, but it is open to visitors on specified days.
