Bankside Open Spaces Trust (BOST) has a vision to provide a state-of-the-art mixed sports facility that is freely available to local school pupils, other children and young people, particularly those who are living in poverty. Central to Cullinan Studio's design is that every space and every object does more than one thing. A new, flexible entrance, events, café and training building becomes a climbable structure, as both seating for spectators and step exercises for classes and individuals – raising aerobic potential and viewpoints at the same time. Slides provide a fun way down as a reward for stepping up. High perimeter fences can host climbing plants, banners and giant posters. Tall props hosting climbing plants will create a distinctive frieze on Union Street, announcing Marlborough Sports Garden to the city. Bold and colourful signage, with supergraphics on walls, ground surfaces and soffits, will define spaces whilst bringing a sense of fun and energy to the Garden. Cullinan Studio shares BOST’s ambition to apply circular economy thinking to the proposals and is working with Southwark Council to find how local people, particularly young people, can get involved in all stages of the project.
