Case Study: The Tide

Architects: Diller Scofidio + Renfro

Year: 2019

Location: London, Greenwich Peninsula

The Tide creates habitable spaces using changes of elevation to create a walkway through several key 'islands' that cross through public space. There is an emphasis on a pathway that guides users through the structure, that is maintained despite the inclusion of moments throughout. Uses of small elevation changes create soft thresholds.
