We proposed a network of crescents that embraced the southern sun, the views across the Trent Valley and heightened one’s awareness of the gentle descent to the Caldon Canal’s edge. The new north-south urban grain would establish a connection between the city and the water that would characterise the proposed new area City Waterside. These urban vessels were to be like boats jostling in a harbour, having both interiors able to support life and exteriors providing protection from the elements.
