Visual connection and Physical connection

We had shown networks of the east of Canary Wharf in yellow as Edmund Bacon had done in his book Design of Cities. However, on a tutor's advice, we started focus on both visual connection and physical connection.
Here is one example of visual connection, the view from Rotherhithe to O2 arena. You can look east along Canary Wharf through to Dome area.


 
Folloing image is showing a example of physical connection, Royal victoria dock, London. This linear space defined by the docks and the airport is bordered by mix of modern buildings and derelict industrial space.



Group1 decided to make a map of key areas in the site and explore both visual connection and physical connection in each.
