DIGITAL SNAPSHOTS

I have been exploring the idea of allotments (which inhabit the ramped landscape) protruding into the soffit of the ramped entrance level on the north bank of the Thames. These structures which are all 12.5 meters square and require an hour of attention each per week, could span the width of the building and the profile be a part of the structure. The image below shows the entrance sequence and the mentioned allotments.



Initial thoughts are that the allotments are terraced, to maximise the amount of  sun reaching each plot. Irrigation and nutrients could be provided by a network of pipes which interlink the separate plots, providing optimum growing conditions.
