Custom House Proposal
- Proposal for a new vision of Custom House - CUSTOM HOUSE PROPOSAL Revitalising the neighborhood through community-oriented spatial interventions This design response proposes a community-oriented Custom House whose social infrastructure will be revitalised in accordance with the neighbourhood’s physical regeneration. Given the area’s struggles with crime induced socio-spatial stigmatisation, our plan aims to re- map Custom House: embedding new positive features within its de- sign through which it can be identiﬁed—changing the associations and connotations of place. Utilising a combination of the perspectives and expertise gained through Newham Council’s participatory planning process and our own neighbourhood analysis, our approach aims to constructive- ly engage with the issues affecting Custom House residents. Building from this, our proposal expands on the current regeneration plans— placing greater emphasis on community empowerment. To articulate this community-oriented vision, we have divided our proposal into three principles which address: the socio-economic integration of Cus- tom House within its broader locality; the neighbourhood’s identity and reputation; as well as its safety and accessibility. Whilst these principles THANK YOU are then broken down further into guidelines with corresponding inter- ventions, each element of the overall strategy is interconnected and mutually constitutive. GROUP 2: Karen Waneska at Newham Council AUTHORS The strategy articulated in this proposal addresses the need for cohesive multi-temporal, multi-scalar interventions that go beyond just Madhulikaa A.S.

Transforming East London Together

East London is fortunate to be well-served by an international airport that has “ been at the heart of the economic regeneration and rejuvenation of the area since 1987. The existence of London City has been a catalyst for business investment in the area. With more start-up businesses than any other part of London and clusters emerging such as Tech City and the Royal Docks, the growth of the airport in line with increasing demand will be essential. Without the quick and convenient air links provided by London City, I am certain that many businesses would have chosen alternative locations.

Situated in the historic Royal Docks in the borough of Newham, it benefits from a rich history and a diverse community. The vision of “a living neighborhood” hints at a place that is vibrant and dynamic, continuously adapting to the needs of its residents. In order to achieve this vision, we structured our design response in three key sections. First, we present a critical analysis of the current situation and the proposed plans by reviewing previous reports and consolidating the key issues and potentialities. Second, we developed the vision, principles and guidelines considering how best to respond to the issues while building upon the potentialities. These culminated in our third section on the design strategies. Our proposed interventions range from location-specific projects, such as transforming the highway to a High Street, to higher-level programs such as developing local participatory networks.
