The research aims to uncover the specific qualities of East London waterfronts and its post-industrial structures. The neglected, but still partially untreated by commercialized approach waterfronts were found to be a unique chain of polluted yet biodiverse areas.
The research is followed up by a design project in which the agency for resilient nature and industrial waterfront heritage became the conceptual premise. Bordering between disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning, the research proposed a strategy and intervention for the fragment of post-industrial biodiverse waterfront in Purfleet. The project aimed to ‘reactivate’ the waterfront and reunite people with water while embracing the specific qualities of the area.
