Byker Renderings

Here are a couple of images of work that I did while at EEA in London. The project was called Byker redevelopment and was part of Ralph Erskine's famous modern (re)development in the area. Can't remember if it was a competition or a project. Nevertheless, it never went anywhere.

"Byker was one of the first major attempts in Britain to create a dialogue between community and architecture. Erskine oversaw the development of this famous project allowing for tenant cooperation and architectural innovation on a large scale to provide housing protected from motorway noise and the rebuilding of a whole estate near the city centre."
