Greenwich Council and its partners are launching an international design competition to invite proposals to redesign two squares in Woolwich Town Centre. The project is part of a major regeneration programme for Woolwich that is already transforming this historic part of the London Thames Gateway. Expressions of interest are sought from registered architects/ landscape architects and architect/ landscape architect led multidisciplinary design teams for the redesign of General Gordon Square and Beresford Square. This project will form part of the Mayor's 100 Public Spaces Programme. The Council's partners are the Woolwich Regeneration Agency, Design for London and Transport for London.
Regeneration in Woolwich
The massive regeneration in Woolwich will bring about changes in the Town Centre, such as the:
- Re-development of the Royal Arsenal and Love Lane sites
- Extension of the Docklands Light Railway
- Introduction of Greenwich Waterfront Transit
- Construction of a Crossrail station.
The transport infrastructure will provide high-speed connections to the Docklands, the City and the West End. Their introduction will help transform the area. This includes the construction of:
- Thousands of new homes
- New Council offices
- A major new supermarket
- A range of new retail and leisure facilities.
Management of Process
This is a two-stage process to select a design. Expressions of interest will first of all be invited. These will be assessed
and a short list invited to tender. The short listed teams will each receive an honorarium of £2,500 towards preparing their design responses. The submitted enders will be assessed by a competition panel and technical panel as well as being subject to public consultation, before a consultant team is chosen. Technical advice to the client Group will be provided by Urban Practitioners.
