Background:
: The
Cardiff Bay Regeneration Strategy published in 1988 envisaged Tyndall Street
as one of a number of roads which would form a series of cross-connecting visual
corridors. Tyndall Street, East Tyndall Street and Windsor Road therefore form
an increasingly important "Gateway" between the City Centre and the
Bay. The dominant feature of this landscape is the transport systems which move
through the land, their surfaces rising and falling, over and under. The intention,
therefore, was to strategically transform the area through concentrating on these
systems and exploiting through visual enhancement the many bridges and the way
they progress relentlessly over and around eachother.
