Fantasticology: Greenway Markers
The Olympic Delivery Authority’s (ODA’s) programme of permanent commissions has been integrated into the high-quality British architecture, design, construction and engineering of the Olympic Park.
Projects range from bridges and underpasses designed by artists, to security fences, planting schemes, large-scale facades, as well as artist-led community projects in the five Host Boroughs (Greenwich, Hackney, Newham,Waltham Forest and Tower Hamlets). These projects demonstrate the ingenuity and imagination that artists have brought to the look and feel of the Park.
By integrating arts and culture into the public spaces around the Park, our aim is to achieve a unique area that will give existing local communities a sense of ownership, attract new businesses, create an area where new communities will want to live, as well as make east London a world-class visitor destination.
The ODA art commissions and projects have been supported by a number of funders, including the Greater London Authority, Arts Council England, London Development Agency, and Forward Arts Foundation among others.
