can you make this description into an image Design Narrative – Riverside Amphitheatre This proposal transforms the Anchor Iron Wharf into a soft-edged, inclusive public seating landscape inspired by tidal movement. The design responds to the site’s current barriers: lack of comfortable seating, exposed concrete surfaces, and minimal connection to the river. The core intervention is a stepped amphitheatre facing the river, shaped in a gentle wave form. These wide steps act as informal seating (like The Scoop, Southwark) and blend with existing trees to create shaded moments. The seating structure includes an accessible ramp and integrates low planters to soften the hard edge and control spatial flow. The design also reshapes the existing river barrier, maintaining its flood defense while creating a usable “green edge” with planters and views out. This space invites locals and visitors to pause, reflect, and engage with the riverside in a calm, open setting. See more
