Abstract

Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan den eksisterende struktur af Grosvenor Bridge—Londons første jernbanebro—kan gentænkes og genanvendes som rygraden i et fremtidigt kulturområde ved Battersea Power Station. Det ser på, hvordan broen kan fungere som et samlende element, der forbinder Themsens riverside-landskab med de omkringliggende kvarterer, så historisk infrastruktur får nyt liv og større sammenhæng i byen.

This thesis examines how the existing structure of Grosvenor Bridge—London’s first railway bridge—can be repurposed as the backbone of a future cultural destination at Battersea Power Station. It explores using the bridge as a unifying element that links the Thames riverside landscape with surrounding neighborhoods, giving historic infrastructure a new role and improving urban cohesion.
