Project: Dartford Town Centre
(above)
Location: Dartford, UK
Architect: Witherford Watson Mann
Date: 1998
This is a bird’s eye perspective
sketch of a proposal for a town
centre design. In this sketch it is
possible to see that the east–west
road and rail infrastructures are
flattened and used as a series of
horizons, with the River Thames
at the top of the sketch and
the River Darent running through
it. The balance of the proposal’s
volumes, public spaces and
landscapes are shown in this drawing
in the context of their metropolitan
and landscape setting.
