Mapping in Hackney Wick and Fish Island: Observation is Proposition
Hackney Wick and Fish Island, adjacent to the London 2012 Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, has developed a special character over time, accommodating 700 artists' and other creatives' studios in old warehouses. The under‐designed ‘scarce’ quality of the public realm contrasts with the highly designed spaces of the Olympic Park. Liza Fior describes how muf has developed an urban strategy that could help assimilate the two sites and cater for the greater expected densities in housing, while retaining the under‐determined character of the existing area.
