Project Brief - The Millennium Mills Redevelopment

Cities across the world are already feeling the effects of the climate crisis and need to ensure that they are resilient to a future which could result in a variety of changeable weather, such as more powerful rainfall events, higher temperatures and sea level rise. This means that all new developments need to be designed to be resilient in an uncertain world in 2050 to ensure that the people living, working and visiting there are safe, healthy, comfortable and productive. Silvertown Quays in London's Royal Docks is a waterside site which will be developed over the next 10-15 years and needs to be designed to be 2050-ready.

The client has already received several proposals regarding the refurbishment and reconstruction of the Mills but remain unsatisfied about these proposals. Details of the context and background to the Millennium Mills can be found in the Appendix A
