Sowing design on New Islington’s fallow ground


The assumption by the comment: that allotments would be the 'most constructive' way of using the land was argued against quite well. In the task of inserting natural spaces, we are often too quick to jump to the conclusion of allotments. Can we describe walking through a field of flax as 'simple community use of the site'?


'the buildings seem almost swallowed up by the vastness of the landscape'

How do we design for vast open areas...issues of scale...contrast of horizontal vs vertical.
