22.OCT.2008 Thames barrier park
This park was opened in late 2000. It was designed by landscape architect Allain Provost(Groupe Signes) of Paris and architects Patel Taylor of London.
A landscape of the park was modern and artistic to me, with materials such as steel and plain stone wall, moreover, geometric form of the park and details which are shape of plants, and combination of grass and artificial material reminds me French gardens and modern parks in a centre among skyscrapers at once.
The most attractive feature of the park is that Thames flood barrier and the park work well together as a green dock and a nice view, and supply a place for people’s exercise and rest in London.
"The green trench running through the park was intended as a reminder of the site's dockland heritage. It provides a sheltered microclimate for a 'rainbow garden' - strips of coloured plants.
A Pavilion of Remembrance near the River commemorates local people who died in the Second World War.
The most dramatic feature of the park is its view of the Thames Flood Barrier."
