LONDON, UK
Field Operations led the master plan and design for the post-Olympic Games transformation of the South Park Hub from an urban brownfield with contaminated soils into the publicly-dedicated Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Since its opening day in April 2014, the park has been a catalyst for social, economic, and environmental transformation for this formerly neglected part of East London. South Park Plaza’s program was directly influenced by community input—the surrounding neighborhoods previously had little access to open space, and often felt unwelcome in London’s traditional gardens. South Park Plaza is full of community-oriented places, from play areas to small stages for seating or impromptu performances, to food and beverage options. South Park Plaza received the prestigious BALI National Landscape Award 2014.
