Walking Sketch
Sketches were made every fifty
steps from Lunar House tower to the
Croydon Clocktower. This method
shows differences in density and
grain of the city.
Sketchbook
Visits to Croydon were recorded
using a working sketchbook.
Traffic is an inescapable element in
the landscape of Croydon.
Vertical Project
Students from all levels in the school
worked together in teams to pro-
duce a comprehensive record of
the buildings in the town centre.
The newer slab buildings are visible through the spaces
From Subway to tower Footprints in the snow denote the route behind the buildings

Precedent Studies
Gifu Kitagata by SANAA and Unite
dHabitation by Le Corbusier were
selected as two relevant housing
scheme precedents. Studies were
made of the quality of the interior
space, the organisation and circu-
lation of the buildings, and the ide-
als that they represented for their
designers.
