North SEAfaring Project 3 Site Visit Vlissingen
Project 2 Year 2- DARE
For this project i was asked to visit either a finished or soon to be finished dockland area in Europe. I choose to go to Edinburgh, Leith Docks. The title of the project almost explains what the project is about, i was dared to change or add to the finished dockland area.
Below is some information about the location and history of Leith Docks.
DARE in Leith Docks, Edinburgh
After visiting Leith Docks, i found it was made up of 4 key areas;
The 4 areas are;
Albert Dock
Queens Dock
Ocean Terminal and the
Scottish Executive
I DARE to...
...to put a rotating bridge in the centre of Leith Docks, to connect the 4 areas with each other.
DARE in edinburgh
The rotating bridge will be powered by a wind turbine located in the centre of the bridge. The average wind speed in Edinburgh is 9knots. This is equal to 10.4mph. The bridge will rotate at 0.9mph. To cross the bridge will take 12minutes.
The image below shows the location of the bridge with access points and the location of the wind turbine.
