Sinuously stretching across Southwark, the historic Victorian era viaduct is celebrated and reintroduced to the community as a unifying green screen rather than a barrier. Collecting, cleaning, and reusing storm water runoff from train pollutants for green infrastructure irrigation, archway business utility, and heat island effect reduction will promote sustainable efficiencies. The climate machine with its waste water treatment along the facades and spaces adjacent to the viaduct aims to enhance the ecological, social, and sustainable values that will support a dynamic and fast growing Southwark district, thereby, growing the potential of this 19th century transportation infrastructure.
