Our proposal is to develop the site with a strong and palpable identity, to utilise the idea of a Quarter and to make a unique urban place with a special atmosphere. 
The ‘space-between’ buildings is as important as the buildings themselves, contributing both to the feeling of a positively charged urban environment.
A variety of typological forms are proposed that fit together to form the ‘assembled city’.
Sentinels, pitched shed-like, mansion blocks and gateway buildings create a conglomerate
of buildings that together represent this mixed-use community in which working, living and learning sit side by side.
