Badagry Marina Project_july2010!2!2

Historic ContextThe project site is at the Historic Heart of Badagry Town. It is in close proximity to buildings of great heritage importance, such as: the Brazilian Baracoon which served as a holding cell for the captured slaves prior to extraction, the first storey building in Nigeria, Lord Lugard’s house and several other examples of precolonial architecture are situated on the Marina road.

The site holds the reconstructed slave jetty and the original boat anchors installed during the slave trade era.

The proposed masterplan aims to preserve all the historic elements - slave jetty and anchors- in their original locations. It is also important that the historic buildings are restored as part of the overall regeneration of the Badagry slave port.

We believe that this coastal area has great potential for economic development, offering opportunities to support the coastal populations and contribute to national economic growth, while continuing to provide sustainable habitats for the communities.

Constraints and Opportunities

The original reclamation proposal presented several constraints. The constant 65 meter offset from the road impacted the location of the existing historic elements. It also did not mimic or exemplify the natural form of coastal edge formation, which is often undulating and organic in character.

The new proposal augments shoreline profile whilst keeping it approximately within the contractual construction scope. Merely adding 10% to linear length of concrete sheet piling and the same percentage gain in landfill area.

We believe that the new profile will create hierarchy in the order of the urban spaces, by signifying the historic area as the place of real importance.

Site Analysis

DRAFT

16 Badagry Marina | Masterplan Design concept

The ApproachThe Masterpan form is derived from the existing urban form. The new shoreline profile is a combination of the offset of the Marina road and creating an indent in the area where slave jetty and the anchors are located. This geometry ensures that the Slave jetty area remains untouched and also creates a counter point to the alignment of the road. A bay area in consequently formed at the point adjacent to the baracoons. The proposed marina profile will allow the water’s edge to interact with the slave port area (i.e. the Slave Jetty and Anchor plinth) thereby creating a Marina Bay.

The VisionThe bay area i.e. the slave port should have a more distinctive footprint. The idea is that the trees would radiate concentrically about the geometry of the bay, terminating in seating and eating areas along the waters edge.

This concept will form the anchor for the entire masterplan design. The main aspect and focus of the slave port (the bay) will be the water’s edge and the views towards the Gberefu jetty (hence towards the point of no return), the commercial zones flanking the bay will assume a different geometry with aspect and focus towards the road, with drop off and limited parking.

Development exclusion zoneThere should be commercial development exclusion zones on the marina side, 400m radius around the Slave Port

Commercial flankThe East and West sides of the slave port should be extended towards the water so as to accentuate the bay. These areas should be designated commercial zones, with bars, restaurants, civic centres, hotels etc.

Design principles

Public RealmThe area within the development exclusion zone should be dedicated to the public realm, landscaped with local tree species with the provision of seating areas where the public can enjoy the scenery and view the historic sites.

We believe that this spaces will promote social interaction and a sense of social wellbeing. This is a crucial component for creating an inclusive urban environment.

Design principles

Provision of sun decks and terraces

DRAFT


Built FormThe scale and height of the buildings set within the masterplan should respond and complement the context of the setting. It is proposed that the maximum building height be set between 4-5 storeys. The higher massing should be towards the East and west boundaries of the site.

The use of materials should complement local techniques, but employ world class standards in finishing. The development must source local sustainable materials.

Accsessibility

It is crucial to the success of the development that adequate mass transit system is provided to the site.

The masterplan proposes a ferry terminal towards the South West end of the project site. It is key that a ferry service is provided from the Lagos Island to the site in order to avoid the grid lock of the “Mile 2” - Festac axis.

Access to Gberefu’s and the ”point of no return” ferry should be provided via the local wooden boats. This will ensure that human traffic on the slave trail is controlled and the journey in turn remains a more personal experience. it is suggested that the local inhabitants are engaged to operate this mode of transportation.

Design principles

DRAFT


Core strategic themes In summary, the core strategic themes of this proposal are as follows:

Design• To commission stimulating architecture and urban design of the highest quality.To create a strong identity and sense of place.

• To achieve public spaces and routes which are appealing, permeable, legible and well managed.

• To devise an integrated and considered development framework.

Transport

• Improve public and private transport routes to the site, encourage the use of the waterways . Provide pedestrian walkways and cycling paths for the site and for further expansion and integration into the marina development.

Land Use

• To secure integrated mixed use development

• To generate vibrancy and vitality in the day, evening and at the weekend.

• To complement and extend Marina Road, integrate the existing historic centre to the lagoon front.

• To provide a range of retail and commercial uses.

• To provide the opportunity for local employment in Retail and commercial areas of the site.

• To meet the needs of those living in Badagry

Socio-economic and Cultural

• To contribute to the town’s economy through tourism & commerce in the long term.

• To spread the benefits of regeneration into the existing local community

• To create a new, sustainable community of people who live in, work in and visit the new development.

• To support training and employment access initiatives.

• To encourage a range of employment opportunities both during and post construction
