As a continuation of the design for the Cultural Quarter, Bradford, this module provided the opportunity to select and develop a detailed landscape design for an area within larger plan. 

​

My chosen area was a threshold containing a historic statue of Richard Oastler, a 19th Century campaigner for a minimum age and maximum hours for children employed in the weaving mills. The existing site was a small pedestrian zone with prominent hardscape, lacking vegetation and biodiversity.

​

My aim was to create an open green space providing social and recreational opportunities, including exploration and play for children and improving disability access. I also sought to increase biodiversity through my planting design.
