In the first part of our project we analysed a project of Massstudies (Seoul Commune 2026). The project combines different public and private programs in towers. The source of our inspiration was the way the different programs were defined: each one has its own colour, yet always maintaining a common gradient. As all of the programs overlap they create a private area. We applied this rule to the case of an urban field by surrounding the private area by a public space at all times. According to the principles of our reference project we combined office, entertainment, parks and residential areas. The result on the site is a function distribution map, where the existing situation of pro-grams was acknowledged and integrated. The dispersion of functions is circular and declines with a gradient from their centers. In addition to the program map we respected the exsisting street pattern of Thames Gateway. In the course of the development, we selected the main roads, which fit into the flow of the city while replacing those, which were redundant. The main parameter for our building types is density which correlates with function. Depending on the density value, the building types range from single houses to multi-functional skyscrapers. If certain density fields overlap, they create unique and distinct combinations of build-ings. The reaction of the buldings to public space are openings, which move from the bottom to the top of some highrises. A local change within the urban field creates a global one, for instance the resulting dis-tance between buildings. Our last result shows how the urband test field adapts to the newly designed street and program map.
