%20for%20Plymouth.htm. Last accessed 14th Nov 2012.
After the end of WW2 it was necessary to implement a new structure to the city of Plymouth. Congestion and overcrowding in the city had lead to a re think of the city's layout, moreover the space that had become redundant.
Sir Patrick Abercrombie and engineer Paton Watson redefined the space of Plymouth using a grid system that implemented a hierarchic format making use of the redundant space left after bombing.
Built around a central element (Central Park) the grid defines key points around the city allowing us the viewer to travel through non-space in much the same way an editorial designer transports us through a page layout.
