VAUXHALL PLEASURE GARDENS

Community Project

The Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens is a historic site where Victorians use to socialise and enjoy activities such as outdoor theatre and music, since then the importance to the community the park created has been lost. By redeveloping the park, I was able to focus the activities in order to help a troubling social problem within the community: Mental Health.

The park consists of a large water focus point which leads to different parts of the park, focusing on the exterior of the park (social, home and work). Within each pathway to the areas there are 8 different buildings which house different activities in order to help aid mental health. These activities include: Yoga, Meditation, Art Therapy and general Vocal Therapy.
