Light at the End of the Tunnel
Crucifix Lane Site, London

This urban regeneration proposal won Network Rail, Spacia and CRP's international design competition, Light at the End of the Tunnel, to transform central London's railway viaducts.

We have created a linear pedestrian park (GlowGrowGrass(3G) Park) that provides an intriguing and unique leisure resource for people in the area. The green landscaping within the park will incorporate innovative planting selected from trees and grasses that thrive under low UV light levels. And Electro Luminescent panels lining the underside of the arch will map people's passage through the park. The park escapes from the southern side of the tunnel to 'tattoo' the streetscape of Crucifix Lane and to create a strong visual presence for the new development from London Bridge.

The project also includes converting a block of derelict arches into live/work units, retail and arts spaces. Each unit will have piezoelectric vibration sensors, that transform mechanical energy from the vibration of trains above into electrical charge to supply lighting, incorporated in the wall lining.
