14 April 2010. Emily Bowes Court viewed from Watermead Way, Tottenham.
Part of the Hale Village Development by Lee Valley Estates. Masterplan by BDP
§ Quotation below from RUDI (Resource for Urban Design Information) website.
"BDP was commissioned by Lee Valley Estates to provide a masterplan for the former GLS [Greater London Supplies] site located immediately adjacent to Tottenham Hale Station in the London Borough of Haringey in north London."
"The residential-led scheme will include a mix of uses including office, education, health, a hotel and local retail. The residential element will comprise 900 private tenure units and 300 affordable units, and at a density in line with the GLA recommendations for brown field sites. The site will be fully accessible and permeable, and provide amenities for existing local residents and workers in the area."
"Key sustainability features for the site include:
● CCHP (combined, cooling, heating and power generation) as part of a whole site-wide energy infrastructure scheme – biomass boilers that will provide a minimum of 10 percent CO2 savings from the site through provision of thermal energy for the district heating network
● Brownfield site adjacent to major transport hub
● Rainwater harvesting
● Green roofs
"This scheme demonstrates how imaginative private sector investment can generate a mixed and sustainable development. The project will at the same time set a new and higher quality benchmark for future investment in the area and kick start the regeneration of Tottenham Hale."
So let’s click our ruby slippers, and follow the yellow brick road to the Orange and Emerald City.

transmediale.09: DEEP NORTH
Tantalum Memorial
Harwood, Wright und Yokokoji
uk, 2008
WINNER OF THE TRANSMEDIALE.09 AWARD
Jury Statement:
"Profound and dense, this work will be remade for transmediale after showings in 2008 in San Jose at 0l and in Italy at Manifesta7. It has been nominated for its quality of execution, density of imagination as well as conceptual and metaphorical strengths. It operates on many levels – casting light on the memory of the more than three million people who have died in wars in the Congo over the last ten years—through the use of telephony combined with computation. A rack of electromagnetic Strowger telephony switches is triggered by a computer that tracks calls from the ‘Telephone Trottoire,’ a ‘social telephony’ network designed for an international Congolese diaspora. This project builds on the Congolese practice of ‘radio trottoire’ – passing news and hearsay on street corners by word-of-mouth to avoid state control. Its imaginative breadth and its integration of socio-political objectives were seen by the jury as exceptional. The artists have established a substantial track record in engaging with subjects that impact us globally but are initially manifested locally, and their work is well-deserving of acknowledgement within transmediale 09."
