Middlesex architecture and design final year students presented their design charrettes to staff and local venues on the platform theme of Boundaries: Edge around Hackney Wick, one of Hydrocitizenships case studies sites in the Lee Valley. This work is the culmination of two months intensive site work in the Lower Lea Valley around waterside buildings and spaces adjoining the Lee Navigation Canal and tributaries in Hackney Wick + Fish Island. On the Boundaries theme, design students were asked to design temporary spaces for the contemporary circus. With the rapid redevelopment of this area, a high concentration of artists and cultural organisations and pressure on waterfront development, the students produced a creative range of design solutions and imaginative use of water/building space and occupation including live work accommodation for circus performers and waterside events.
An exhibition of selected design presentations will be held in Hackney Wick in 2015.
