New Digital Interpretation in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park

In 2016/17 the Canal & River Trust renovated a unique double radial lock at Carpenters Road in the middle of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. The Park is crisscrossed by several canals, rivers and flood relief channels which reflect the area’s geography and previous land usage. Hotrod worked with the Trust to create a coherent narrative at Carpenters Road Lock that connected these waterways to the vanished industrial buildings, the iconic 2012 Olympic facilities and the still-in-construction post-Olympic developments of housing, education, retail and leisure districts.

Shell asked Hotrod how best to keep their staff up to date with progress and clearly focused on the positive outcomes.

Hampshire Country Park Transformation

For the past eight months we have been working closely with our partners at TGA.London (more to come!), five Country Parks in Hampshire and the County Council to develop an exciting new approach to their communication, interpretation and wayfinding.

The experience starts with bespoke iconic sculptures, 21st century totems with the elements drawn from the parks’ unique identities. These iconic elements then radiate out through the parklands appearing in signage and wayfinding, as play prompts and marking narrative hotspots. The parks are connected across vast human and geologic timelines that criss-cross the landscape, waiting to be explored if you know how to look.
