Project description
The core of this thesis looks at integrating industry and passenger transit in the heart of London.
The London Centre for Logistics explores the architectural outcomes of a streamlined supply chain – one that uses off peak services and adapted passenger trains to bring goods into the centre of the city. Goods are then transported from station to end user via more sustainable means of delivery: electric vehicles, bicycle and by hand.
The thesis proposes relocating Fenchurch street station to Tower Gateway to increase the passenger capacity of the station from 4 to 6 platforms. This creates a new opportunity for a mixed-modal train station that transmits passengers and goods into the centre of the city.
The viaduct into the Fenchurch Street Station will be converted into a new highline – to provide a pedestrian and cycle route and a new gateway into London for commuters, tourists and goods.
