The landscape architectural design for The Churchill Intergenerational Hub project explored the potential of computational patterning to generate a choreography of place. To achieve this, site terrain and architectural data was sourced to generate a Voronoi pattern. This pattern forms an underlying template or thumbprint for the site. This pattern was progressively iterated through design development to configure the spatial organisation of the overall project as well as to drive the positioning of form and the play of materiality across the five playgrounds of the Hub. Dramatic rubaroc mounding, tactile surfaces and dynamic geometry create a stimulating environment for children, with stretched netting fences separating the playspaces from each other.
