Thamesmead has been regarded as an isolated city that is much associated with its lack of infrastructure; The isolation that has to be eradicated. The city is the most vital form of infrastructure for its car-oriented community as what contemporary architectural urban planning should have. The dense network of lanes link the rest of the town to these roads. The A road and railway lines create a city moat, naturally forcing Thamesmead to become a town impossible to cross. These effectively segregate the communities making physical links impossible. The fact, however, is that Thamesmead is now showing promising signs, not only because of the shortage of London housings but, also because of the connectivity of Cross rail. The town therefore is an undiscovered territory ready for an architectural intervention.

The phenomena that Thamesmead is highly associated with mythical scenes was questioned through Peter Brugel’s mythical painting of the uncovered route. Peter Brugel, who is interested in ordinary people’s lives rather than those of high-class people, displays an outstanding atmosphere of social activities on the street and how the route could be integrated with social contexts through his painting. Moreover, it introduces the street as a material to provide engagement for people.

Accumulation of streets is evident in the material actualization in order to resolve lack of infrastructure at site and naturally feed the existing context buildings. The streets that this project is targeting are the links between cross rail station and Thames river, which shows a potential opportunity to contextualize with east London by the Thames link service.
As a part of new development to introduce linear infrastructure type of town centre, the project capitalizes on the existing road which connects the Thames river to the crossrail station. By doing this, the town centre will be more accessible all throughout the route. This will emancipate lack of employment, quality housings, transportation public spaces as well as education across the centre of Thamesmed from North to South without disturbing existing social amenities and infrastructure on ground, which the current. The current context already has plenty of unused voids along side the route offers territories for the project.
There are main district blocks along the route, which are transformed into spaces of production including civic amenities such as schools, clinic, markets which is not well formalized at Thamesmead.
The metaphor of ‘Tray strip’ strategy gives a maximum flexibility in accommodating various programs which allows the infrastructure to be adaptable in changing economic demands of the thamemead over times. While the space is created by the Tray Strip strategy, public gathering and other form of community based activities will flourish here.
At the large scale, the strip blocks provide three new degrees of circulation. First, within each strip secondly, between strips, and finally between the strip and city. The circulation will provide connectivity between North and South, which Thamesmead is currently struggling with. And the newly built infrastructure, will again be the basic demand for social activities through low-speed circulation of people.

Mythical Secene of Thamesmead

The phenomena that Thamesmead is highly associated with mythical scenes was questioned through Peter Brugel’s mythical painting of the uncovered route.
