Been a couple of weeks without an update --- so here is the Design Unit - 'Sur la Plage' (on the beach) with Prof. Will Alsop. This is the existing site plan and my first ideas of a masterplan
which repeats the grammar of the mixed styled chalets in the forest as a design model for beach
huts, artist retreats and viewing stations (light blue shapes on beach of the masterplan).

The existing car parking promenades will be torn up and the material, equating to around 30,000 cubic metres of rubble, will be spread along the sea front as a reclaimed garden, terraced and landscaped to create a hillock between the town and beach.

This mediating device is then fed by a new tramline (red dash on the masterplan) which serves all major junctions and the new landscaped beach via drop off points (red boxes on masterplan - akin to Vienna!).

This will be presented to the studio and Will Alsop in a few weeks ... wich me luck.
