Socio Economic and Spatial Evolution Of ‘Hackney’
•Spatial evolution of the Hackney area also demonstrates the change of Town Planning approach and pedestrian to vehicular again pedestrian . •At present day the urban form seen to be considerably ripped off by the transportation ie railway line

TESCO
ORGAINSED RETAIL
High street RETAIL
Catchment area
•Concentration of the organised retail on the north south axis .
•Tesco is only organised retail in the eastern part so more catchment area
•The Mare Street is only active commercial street in Hackney borough
Leads to…….. •More foot and vehicular traffic concentrated on smaller area .
Traffic Congestion

Area Analysis and Site Strategy
•Segregation of the northern southern part due to overhead railway leads to over congestion of the mare street
•Further narrowing of the mare street leads to the more congestion
Micro Level factors
• Hackneys urban for form restrict pedestrian movement in north south
•Railway line (Physical and Psychological barrier )
•Narrow Mare street
•Close ended road network in the layout
•Lack of choice of ‘Safe’ routes
Connectivity and Permeability
Permeability which urban forms permit (or restrict) movement of people or vehicles in different directions.

Edges and Massing
•The street edge of mare street creates the continuity in the urban form
•The morning lane , Dalston lane create weaker edge street edge or lack of visual continuity

Edge and Massing
•The built bulky structures such as the Bus garage , Burberry factory and Tesco imparts visual monotony to urban form
•However in terms Tesco there is trade-off functionality of the space to outside visual harmony .
•The building heights vary considerably to give visual variety

Urban Grain
•The built form of the hackney central loose urban grain •Although mare street represents the relatively tight urban grain. Narrow street in between the building .

Built mass ,enclosure ,Feel of the space
Public Realm
•The irregular left out spaces in green area remains underutilised •Lack of enclosure •The space in front of the church is out of scale and doesn’t form enclosure so fail to generate the activities

Active frontages
Active frontages Semi active frontages Semi active frontages
The inactive frontages leads to low perception of safety in the church yard area due to lack of surveillance Mare street has active frontages which is quiet evident from the pedestrian traffic on the Mare street .

Area Analysis and Site Strategy
In Nutshell
•Quiet young area and ethnically diverse area
•Hackney central has large catchment area with non permeable Urban form
•Highly dense area with smaller dwelling unit size
•The ‘ vacuum spaces ‘ garages and service shops along the railway line acts psychological
hindrance for using the space
•Concentration n of the activities at on stretch
•Unclear street edges(inside the layout) no continuity of activities
•Low perception of safety in the areas without active frontages (St. John church yard )
•Non permeable layout restrict movement or less choice of movement.
• Unsatisfactory crossings .
• Non Visibility of the station s
•Bulky built masses Bus garage , Tesco , Burberry Factory made urban form monotones and non
permeable at some places .

Area Analysis and Site Strategy
Formulation of the Strategy
•Creating the ‘Parallel Urban activities’ to ease out the pressure on Mare Street considering the larger catchment area . “Parallel ”here means complimenting activities and not competing
•The designed strategy mainly aims at improving the permeability of urban form also tires to provide safe choice of routes residents and visitors.
•Interlocking the north south development
•Balance distribution and continuity of functions across the urban form .
• Distribution of the buses over the time and space
•Maximum Possible segregation of the pedestrian and vehicular traffic .
•Active uses on ground floor and mixed use building preferably residential on upper floor to ensure activity 24/7
•Negotiation with the railway bridge.
• To slow down the process of gentrification introduction of the affordable housing options

Area Analysis and Site Strategy
Key intervention •Interlocking the north south area together .
•Active void space by introducing program and visually appealing
•Continuity of activities •Hierarchy of open spaces with programming
•Increasing permeability of the area with through fare enclosing the squares and plaza for giving people options for using space
•Distribution of the activities over time and space •Creating the safe pedestrian connectivity • linking the station and all the opportunities together

Testing
Evaluate layout in terms of the
•Solid and void relation ship •Permeability •Heights •Grain •Interaction of the public spaces with built mass and overall Urban fabric
And inter relation of all of above .
Based on testing the strategic decision making was done •keeping the bus garage or putting it underground • Interlocking the north south built mass or stitching it with activities •Exploring the possibilities Variety Of Massing instead of bulky building
