Draft masterplanning

I apologise for not posting anything last week as I was working very hard and I spend lots of my nights working on two -  three project at the same time. I am glad I have hand in one on Monday. But what I will be showing you now is my masterplanning I thought we have to hand in yesterday and I am glad we didn't have to hand in it because they were a lot of mistake especially the fact that my rendering was very rough. So I am spending this week redoing my masterplanning as well as trying to finish my draft masterplanning document which I already started. Here are picture of my masterplanning drawing I have done and shown this Monday. You will notice yourself that there are not good enough.

Masterplan

Green Wall

For my masterplan project I want to have a green wall so I went looking at a few green wall to look at them more closely so I can have a better feeling of how they work and to see what sort of plants they are composed of.

So here is some photos of the Green wall at the O2 arena at North Greenwich:

Waterfeature is also part of the green wall. It was an icy day when I visit the site and the waterfeature was covered of ice.

The back of the green wall is composed of climbing plant (ivy).

Here is a closer look of  the green wall.

Another green wall I went to look at is at La Defence and was designed by Patrick Blanc:

Unfortunately I just realise I took photos of it with my sister camera so I will put more of it when she will send them to me. Sorry about it.

Here is the green wall at Westfield that I went to see today as I just came back from France:

Here we can see some plants are missing this is due to the fact that it is at a height where children can reach them and pull them away.

Uproot plants.

Hidden doors to provide access to the green wall inside it.

Other side of the green wall, residential side which is the sunny side.

Grasses and ivy are used in the sunny side.

Bulbs are used also in the green wall.

Lighting for the waterfeature.
