SENSING SILVERTOWN/ BEN SYKES-THOMPSON [Y3]




































A disused flour mill that was built in the Royal Victoria Dock in 1905 is turned into a sensory park based upon sight, sound and smell. In part in the older tradition of parks providing repose within the city, here that role is accentuated by inserting new facilities through which citizens are able to self-diagnose early-stage problems developing in their eyes, ears and noses. As a landscape project and a creative reuse of a powerful existing building, a novel community-distributed model of healthcare is promoted. Detailed technical analysis provides a sharp edge to the sensory pavilions inserted into Millennium Mills and its surrounding landscape.
