Lines of Meaning: Re-Activating Historical Lines of Significance to Meaningfully Structure Future Development Part 1 Project 2024 Anna Hodgson Northumbria University Newcastle | UK The project reimagines two post-industrial landscapes in Newcastle, linked together by fading linear infrastructure, within a 200-year legacy masterplan. Through a live community initiative, the scheme seeks to design a mutable architectural language adaptable to the diverse landscape conditions, establishing distinct typologies for the wetland—an Olympic- standard watersport site—and the farmland—a recreational, health and fitness park.Challenging the reliance on technological solutions for climate change, the project advocates for rewilding defunct linear infrastructures as a regional strategy to mitigate carbon emissions while preserving the locale's collective memory. By using these historic lines as a framework, the revitalisation of embedded infrastructure creates opportunities a new infrastructure, such as a leisure and sporting corridor stretching from Rising Sun Country Park to the shipyards of Willington Quay.By reactivating historical lines of significance, this project creates a meaningful framework for shaping future development and urban planning. The Wallsend Sports and Leisure Corridor exemplifies how this framework can foster community growth, enhance well-being, and advance our goals of sustainably achieving Net Zero within Newcastle upon Tyne.
