I will aim to add more info. The main idea was that instead of following the usual Thamesside practice (a 7-10m wide slabbed walkway with no use and no beauty) the the riverside walk should be planned as a modulated greenway passing through a sequece of character zones – with the character explained musically. The Canary Wharf riverfront is the fast movement: a busy place for busy people to eat, drink, relax and ‘do the business’. The east end of the project area, at the entrance to Royal Docks, was conceived as a slow movement with a fully sustainable green development: earth sheltered buildings, habitats, wildness, swamps and happy people. The intermediate zones have an intermediate character. The musical analogy came from a play on the words ‘key’, as in piano key, and ‘quay’, as in ‘boat quay’. The sequential range of quays have varied use and character: quiet, busy, boatey, ecological, beachey, introverted, extroverted etc. It is a musical approach to urban landscape design.

Sorry about the video quality. It was taken on a hand-held DSLR while trying to concentrate on the presentation. But when I heard the cello I decided to take a a video.

Could I also suggest the wearing of lapel mikes for enhanced sound quality (….restricting the students movements and asking them to address the recording mike might lessen the atmosphere and their spontenaiety and enthusiasm…)

…or students could be asked to provide a transcript of their presentation?
