Re: Re: A New Knowledge Campus for the Customs House Area

I think there shouldn’t be a rush to fill in the docks (when they’re gone, they’re gone), but if most of the water body is retained as a ‘moat’ or ‘canal’ around a central ‘island’ development, then you have the advantage of both the water feature (reflective, could look at it for hours,etc) and useful development along your lines Brian in the centre. One of the big mysteries of the docks is that the vernacular language of dockland architecture (e.g. tall, gabled structures) has been dumped for international corporate booooooooring stuff.
