The Tide Park Opens First Kilometer in London
The Tide, a new elevated park in London created by Diller Scofidio + Renfro alongside Neiheiser Argyros and GROSS.MAX, has just opened its first kilometer. Located in Greenwich Peninsula, this park is part of a larger project by Knight Dragon from Hong Kong, which aims to build 15,000 homes and generate 13,000 jobs. The park features 28 tree-like steel structures made in Italy by Cimolai, designed to promote an elevated ecosystem. The walkway, which is 9 meters high, offers breathtaking views of the Thames and includes art pieces from artists like Damien Hirst and Morag Myerscough. Future developments will include a floating cinema and a waterfront gallery. In related news, Mayor Sadiq Khan has rejected Foster + Partners' Tulip tower due to design concerns, though the firm recently won a project for the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum.
