INTRODUCTION

EAST SIDE PARK,,BIRMINGHAM,UK


Year: 2013
•Architects: Patel Taylor
CONCEPT
The linear park provides 3.4 hectares of public amenity space;
a vital part of The Big City Plan and at the heart of
the Birmingham’s Eastside regeneration quarter, a place
where people can stop, relax and enjoy a colourful and
aromatic landscape. It is this amenity space, being both the
focal point and the principal route in to the district that will
draw people into Eastside, enhancing the economic prosperity
of the area and driving new development.

The design follows Patel Taylor’s strategy of making a


sequence of defined spaces with a logical yet pleasurable
route between them, but with added layering of meaning as
these work differently in the lengthwise or traverse directions.
DESCRIPTION

The park’s length which extends eastwards from Park Street


along the frontage if Millenium Point, on a southeast decline
towards the Digbeth Branch Canal, lends itself to a continuous
narrative complemented by a canal feature running 188m that
incorporates 21 jet fountains. Across its shorter dimension, it is
more a moment of green in a journey through the city
experienced via formal lawns and public squares punctuated
by Corten steel. Patel Taylor has approached the brief primarily
as a piece of urban planning, secondly as a landscape.
FLOOR PLANS
The architects have implemented a bold planting strategy that
helps define these urban spaces in a way that evokes common
perceptions and expectations of parks. Large trees differentiate
spaces, direct views, and provide shelter and enclosure. This
structure is reinforced by planting of a smaller scale that has
sufficient variety provide many different experiential
characteristics throughout the park, creating an unfolding
experience of the park, full of discovery and delight.

• The park is situated as the heart


of Birmingham.
• It is the best place for the people
to stop,relax and enjoy.
• As it is located at the center of
the city,it has direct view points
all around.
• The park is easily accessible
through public transport and also
centrally liked to the pedestrian
paths and the cycle tracks.
• The structure is done using
sustainable material and also
pollution free.
• The design is done based upon
the survey of the people needs in
Birmingham city.

Throughout the design process, there has been close


consultation with local communities; stakeholders developing
within the Eastside quarter, such as Birmingham City University;
and those who will be responsible for the maintenance of the
park. Parks are long-term investments that need to meet and
exceed the needs of users, and must continue to do many years
after completion.
