Project 6 - 'Memorable Rhythms'

Here we go.... althought there is a slight problem, on the plan and axonmetic with data 'falling off' when I export from Indesign as a PDF whic I will sort out... annoying - you get the idea anyway!

Essentially:

This project is inspired by memory.  The installation is a ‘network’ that spans the site, linking the sea to the land.  It is a disruptive influence with interventions (Memory Banks) that a serve to amplify the Greenhithe experience the visitors to the site.  The project is about amplifying the sensory experience.

Project 5 - Space and Layers

4 collages - describing the themes: Fire, Water, Earth and Air
Fire  - the sun creating dynamic shadow (above)


Water - the sea as a collector of matter

Earth - layering of the the land, dissected by water

Air - object in the landscape deflecting the wind                                  

Dynamic Composition - model showing the layering of the residue collected by the memory banks
Memory banks - cutting through the landscape
Memory banks - linking the sea and land...        


Interference - 'knitting the landscape together'

Project 4 - Design Development


Developing the concept based on the selected 
theme of 'Memory' - including site survey and 
design development.


'Memory Banks' - Monoliths positioned in the 
estuary acting as disruptive elements...

 
'Memory pools' - collectors of tidal over spill

 
Model 1 - 'Memory Banks and the Sea' 


Disturbance - of the moment forms, shape and patterns                                                 

 

Model 2 - 'Memory Banks and the Sun'

Shadow as ephemeral memories

Model 3 - Memory Banks and the Land

Cutting through the land and kitting together the  landscape (shadow)
