Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper analyses Cedric Price’s project to transform Two Tree Island, located in the Thames Estuary, into a leisure complex. The plan, drafted between 1971 and 1973 and which never materialized, was produced against a background of alternative planning theory discussions that were prevalent in Britain during the 1960s and the early 1970s. From a historical point of view, Two Tree Island is an illuminating example of the conceptual depth with which the notion of the environmental design was being used. Despite an undeniable lack of precision in the use of data and descriptors, the project is still of conceptual interest because of the way it defines the landscape based on the convergence of physical and cognitive approaches.
