Located in Westminster, central part of London, Hyde Park is one of the Royal Parks and also one of the largest in the city. Alone it has an extension of 142 ha and is connected to Kensington Gardens with 111 ha on west side, in a quite flat surface. The combined area of 253 ha is a little smaller than Central Park in New York with 341 ha.
Nagold has today an integrated urban green infrastructure, result from the Garden Exhibition which took place in the city center in 2012. The city park and city garden are on both sides of the river Nagold and connected to another park, the Riedbrunnen, through the renaturated river Waldach as a green corridor.  
 
This green corridor along the Waldach River, which crosses the city from north to south, stops at the Viaduct, an important landmark in Nagold landscape that cutsthe center and its periphery. Beyond the viaduct no plan or design was developedso far, what reveals a disconnection between this area and the city center.
The Long Water and the Serpentine are recreational lakes, which together divide the park in two, and represent an important identity element. The bathing area, known as the Lido, is a rectangular area about 100 m long and 30 m wide.  
 
There is a variety of species of fauna and flora, which has been increased since the implementation of a meadow area, in reference to earlier times. The trees, shrub beds and herbaceous plantings offer a rich habitat for song birds, bees, butterflies and other insects, bats, ducks, and others. Some exotics species can be seen occasionally, like black swan, a buzzard and Egyptian geese.

*'''Cultural features'''
Hyde Park has been place for famous rock concerts and outdoor experience, crowding up to 500.000 people.
In the Brunnen Park, north side of viaduct, there are sport areas very uses by teenagers and a playground, each one in one side of the river. On weekends they are full of people, especially on summer, when kids also play in the Waldach’s water.
 
The site of Tyburn gallows, in former times used for public executions, today it is a Speakers’ Corner, where people discuss and debate in public.
 
Special attractions for visitors:
*The Diana Memorial Fountain - opened in 2004.
*The Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk - a seven-mile-long walk, charted by 90 plaques set in the ground, that takes visitors within            sight of famous buildings and locations related to the Princess during her life.
*Serpentine Lido – a beach like area which has been used over 100 years for swimming, relaxing, sunbathing and playing.
*7th July Memorial - permanent memorial to honor the victims of the 7 July 2005 London
*Royal Gun Salutes – are fired to mark special royal occasions.
 
Hyde Park has a wide range of facilities: cafes and restaurants, a children's playground and the Lookout, a former police observation point which is now an education center for nature and wildlife, toilets (also for disabled people).
 
There is a range of leisure activities like informal games, swimming and horse riding. Cycling, roller-blading and skateboarding are possible in all roads and cycle tracks.
 
The park has also sport facilities for Football, tennis, lawn bowls, boating, and exercise equipment in the Senior Playground. The paths and grass areas are intensive used for walking, jogging and running.

It is often thought that the Kensington Garden is a part of the Hyde Park, but they are categorized as different parks.  
The urban green structure is clear and connected in the city center and is quite intensive used by residents and visitors. However the viaduct is a strong element on landscape and seems to cut this green structure from the south part of Nagold. The river Waldach runs to the south, but has apparently no relation to its surrounding in this part.


*'''History and dynamics'''
*'''History and dynamics'''
The oldest part of the park is the site of the manor of Westminster Abbey. The area of the manor was 1 hyde (60 to 120 acres), which the name of the park came from originally. In 1536, King Henry Ⅷ purchased the land from Westminster Abbey. The layout of the park was built from Decimus Burton’s design in 1820’. In 1851, the Great Exhibition was hold in the park as the most important event . The Crystal Palace was constructed at the time from the design of Joseph Paxton. However it was lost by a fire after it moved to Sydemham Hill in South London, after the Great Exhibition.
Nagolds’ City Planners together with Mr. Stefan Fromm, the landscape architect responsible for Garden exhibition project, decided to concentrate the event area around the old town until the borders of the viaduct on the south. The neighborhood beyond this border is composed by houses and residential building, commercial area and super-market, industrial buildings, all surrounded by nature protected areas. Here the car traffic is more intensive in comparison to downtown and we see fewer pathways forpedestrians.

The quality of the green spaces in Nagold is clearly perceived  in the city center and we intent to think about possibilities to expand this quality to other parts of the city. We will start focusing on the south part, where the gap on the green structure is more evident, exploring the area along the Waldach river.

Landscape and/or urban context of your case

  • Biogeography

Nagold has today an integrated urban green infrastructure, result from the Garden Exhibition which took place in the city center in 2012. The city park and city garden are on both sides of the river Nagold and connected to another park, the Riedbrunnen, through the renaturated river Waldach as a green corridor. This green corridor along the Waldach River, which crosses the city from north to south, stops at the Viaduct, an important landmark in Nagold landscape that cutsthe center and its periphery. Beyond the viaduct no plan or design was developedso far, what reveals a disconnection between this area and the city center.

  • Cultural features

In the Brunnen Park, north side of viaduct, there are sport areas very uses by teenagers and a playground, each one in one side of the river. On weekends they are full of people, especially on summer, when kids also play in the Waldach’s water.

  • Overall character

The urban green structure is clear and connected in the city center and is quite intensive used by residents and visitors. However the viaduct is a strong element on landscape and seems to cut this green structure from the south part of Nagold. The river Waldach runs to the south, but has apparently no relation to its surrounding in this part.

  • History and dynamics

Nagolds’ City Planners together with Mr. Stefan Fromm, the landscape architect responsible for Garden exhibition project, decided to concentrate the event area around the old town until the borders of the viaduct on the south. The neighborhood beyond this border is composed by houses and residential building, commercial area and super-market, industrial buildings, all surrounded by nature protected areas. Here the car traffic is more intensive in comparison to downtown and we see fewer pathways forpedestrians.

  • Illustration: Map; sketches; short descriptive analyses

What are the objectives of your design?

The quality of the green spaces in Nagold is clearly perceived in the city center and we intent to think about possibilities to expand this quality to other parts of the city. We will start focusing on the south part, where the gap on the green structure is more evident, exploring the area along the Waldach river.

Analytical drawings

Please add four analytical sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes) of your case. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing.

Projective drawings

Please add four projective sketches/drawings (or montages/schemes), of course with an emphasis on planting design/vegetation aspects. Every group member needs to contribute at least one drawing representing his/her individual ideas.

Design Synthesis

Please analyse the individual approaches presented so far and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses (you may use the SWOTanalysis model). Try to create a synthesis and represent it with a plan and some sketches. You can still use drawings/sketches.

Summary of the collaborative process

Teamwork

Work in group is always a challenging job but also an opportunity to learn from others experiences. Site selection was one of the difficult tasks in our group, because of the different perspectives and as well we imagined a different type of analysis of collaborative design. Time synchronization was a factor that has slowed down the process of our project, but until the end we managed to get through obstacles and propose a concept that fits to the chosen site in Nagold city, Germany.

Image Gallery

You may add a series of images/photos in addition to the sketches/drawings
