Competition Brief

This is the brief for a new Urban Design, Landscape, Architecture and Public Realm competition for Vauxhall, on London’s South Bank.

Imagine you are visiting a central neighbourhood in a large European city. Your

senses are alive to things that are the same but different – sights and smells, tastes

and sounds. You notice colourful planting, playful lighting, intriguing public art. Of

course there are apartment buildings and office blocks, but it is the feel of the streets

around them that makes the real impact. Is it easy to find your way around? Does it

feel safe and clean, bland or beautiful, does it encourage you to linger or get through

as fast as possible? In short does it feel as though anyone has invested time,

energy and ideas here?

Here in London Vauxhall we are asking the same questions of our neighbourhood.

What message does our everyday experience of streets and public spaces give to

the people who work, live and invest here? How can we make the most of Vauxhall’s

new opportunities?

At the moment, the public realm is dominated by a notorious traffic gyratory and

a spine of railway arches that cut most of Vauxhall off from the river, yet our

neighbourhood is the missing link between the New US Embassy Quarter and

London’s South Bank, with its theatres and concert halls.

However investment is coming, with development schemes including Battersea

Power-Station and the new Damien Hirst gallery; and with it comes the opportunity

to face up to the challenge of the disconnected places and railway arches. We

want to create vibrant Green Links and strong Urban connections. We want our

public realm to create a striking and strong new identity for Vauxhall, so it’s clear

to employees, residents and visitors that ideas and energy are what Vauxhall is all

about.

Vauxhall is at the heart of an area of huge new opportunity in London and we plan to

make the most of it. Now we want your urban design, landscape and place-making

ideas to help us do it.

Introducing the client – who we are and what we want to do

The client for this design competition is Vauxhall One, the new Business

Improvement District (BID) for Vauxhall. Vauxhall One came into being in February

2012 when local businesses voted to invest their own money to bring benefits and

improvements to the area. Like other successful BIDs along London’s South Bank,

Vauxhall One is a business-led organisation whose key priorities are set by its

members. They focus on place making and place management – making Vauxhall

feel safer, integrating the day and night-time economies, building employment and

training opportunities and improving the public realm. This project is central to our

strategy for the area.

4

Introducing the area – opportunities and challenges for Vauxhall

London as a city is going through an incredible period of change and growth and

Vauxhall is no exception. It lies within the wider Vauxhall Nine Elms Battersea

(VNEB) Opportunity Area, which will play a key part of the future prosperity of

London, with plans including 16,000 new homes, up to 25,000 new jobs and an

extension to London Underground's Northern line.

Vauxhall today is home to MI6 and the future home of the American Embassy, as

well as being known across London and beyond for its thriving nightlife. Sadly it

is also known as a difficult and disconnected environment to navigate. There are

green spaces, if you can find them, but the most distinctive feature is the dozen or

so railway arches that thread across the neighbourhood, creating a barrier to the

riverside and an unwelcoming environment for pedestrians.

Yet in the 18th century this area was the height of fashion. If you got lost in the walks

of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens it was probably through choice, but the pleasures

here were cultured as well as illicit. In 1749 Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks

was given its debut in Vauxhall. (It will be replayed, fireworks and all, in an outdoor

Handel Picnic concert in June 2013 on Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens!)

We know that Vauxhall has a richer story to tell than our streetscape might currently

make you think – and the public realm is the place to tell that story.

SOME OF THE MANY FACES OF VAUXHALL

Glass Manufacture: Mirror, mirror - embarking for a night on the town

From the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries north-shore women of fashion

preparing for a night on the town, perhaps in the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens,

would have checked their beauty spots in a Vauxhall–made glass mirror.

National Intelligence: Welcome to the home of Spooks

It’s no secret that the Secret Intelligence Services have chosen Vauxhall for their

HQ – we saw it in Skyfall. Now that the fictional Spooks have shown us into the

world of espionage it makes us wonder, how often does James Bond come to

Vauxhall?

Art Galleries: A new cultural heart for London

Vauxhall is undergoing a cultural renaissance. The arrival of Damien Hirst’s own

gallery on Newport Street will herald a new hub in the art world, celebrating the

contemporary and asking what’s next for Vauxhall?

How you can help – design guidance to reconnect and reveal Vauxhall

We are fortunate that some of the best architects in the world have been

commissioned for new developments in Vauxhall, including Rogers Stirk Harbour,

Foster and Partners, Caruso St. John and Allies and Morrison. This investment in

new buildings means we can focus on the quality and feel of the green spaces and

streets that link them, giving us a remarkable opportunity for innovation.

Vauxhall One has high ambitions. We plan to challenge perceptions of Vauxhall,

by improving connectivity and rebuilding a sense of place. In New York the High

Line has shown what can be achieved with a sculptural trail and linear urban park.

Vauxhall also has an opportunity to create an outstanding new addition to the urban

environment.

Vauxhall One is working with the RIBA, Landscape Institute and the Garden

Museum to commission a creative urban and landscape scheme. The aim of the

scheme is to reconnect the disjointed parts of the neighbourhood, to build a better

visual perception of Vauxhall beyond its roundabouts and roads and to create an

identifiable pathway and narrative through the area, linking the railway arches, green

spaces and public art into a distinctive place once again. Show us your ways to

connect the parks, gardens and walkways into a coherent and exciting green trail,

from Vauxhall Park and the Pleasure Gardens up to Lambeth Palace and beyond.

The first element of this – the Regeneration of the Rail Arches – is already

underway. Working with Network Rail, the developers and Lambeth Council,

Vauxhall One has identified a programme for investment and design in the railway

arches, linking each developer and their architect to a specific arch and agreeing

with them a distinctive design for each that will grow into Vauxhall’s sculptural trail.

Responding to the distinctive character of our local area, the individual designs

will enrich the experience of walking and cycling around Vauxhall, as well as wider

perceptions of our area for continued investment. As more people choose to walk

through the arches they naturally become safer places to be. This will turn a barrier

into an opportunity.

Rail Arch Regeneration has already been included in Lambeth Council’s new

Supplementary Planning Guidance for Vauxhall, published for consultation in

October 2012. Following a review of the rail arches and new developments, Vauxhall

One has created a map of the Business Improvement District to show where the

opportunities lie, and based on anticipated investment, we hope agreement on all 12

arches will be in place by 2017, with new schemes underway by the end of the year.

We are looking for concepts and visualizations to create this sense of place in

Vauxhall. As with the High Line in New York, we believe that the answer lies with

both architecture and landscape design: we are looking for entries that offer both,

whether as combined practices or inter-disciplinary proposals.

What’s next?

If you would like to contribute ideas to the renaissance of Vauxhall we would love to

see your ideas.

What we want to see?

a. Two identical A1 Boards with your creative ideas;

b. One A1 Board will be used for Internal Display at the Garden Museum.

c. One duplicate A1 Laminated Board will be used for External Display on our

Cultural Trail through the parks and railway arches of Vauxhall.

d. An A3 booklet of no more than 10 pages showing context and strategy.

e. The designs should highlight;

i. Urban Design interventions and street-scape

ii. Hard and Soft landscape ideas

iii. Horticultural, street trees and planting ideas

iv. Ideas for public art and street theatre

v. Ideas for outside concerts

vi. Ideas for Green connections between the parks and gardens

vii. Ideas for Green connections to the river

viii. Ideas for pocket parks in under-used areas

ix. Ideas for a Cultural and Green Trail that improves connectivity

x. Show us why you would want to walk and cycle from Vauxhall to the

South Bank and how this will connect into the broader VNEB plans

The photo shows the first step in our rail arch regeneration. It captures the energy and spirit we would like to

bring to the district and gives an idea of how redesigned arches can make a difference. The pilot project by Base

Associates features a light installation on New Spring Gardens Walk
