A Landscape Rich in
Colour & Contrast
PROPOSED ENERGY CENTRE,
RECYCLING CENTRE AND CYCLE
STORE
In designed parks and gardens, colour within the landscape was used as an accent
or to draw the eye. The majority of colour was used in formal garden planting and
seasonal tree foliage. Contrasting elements were used to accentuate one’s experience
of the landscape. Contrasts often included a change between man made and natural
features such as a mown lawn adjacent to a wildflower meadow for example.
The proposals use a simple and contemporary layout of wide, interconnecting routes
from north to south and east to west. These routes provide pedestrian and cycle
connections to and from the Hub and the wider University campus.
