FEATURED PROJECTS
Lancaster Urban Common plays with edges. Layers of history and heritage are brought together and celebrated, Living, Growing, Working, Playing. Where these areas meet forms a vibrant edge, charged with vegetation and providing a positive human habitat.
I wanted to explore the sites flatness and connections with the wider context. I found an ink cap on site and took a print of it and considered how mycelium connects the fungal network, invisibly and extensively.
When overlaying the topographical map of the area, the gills are reminiscent of the rivers which connect the site to the distant mountains.
Rivers and their natural curves often dictate a landscape. In this project other man made waterways dictate the space in a strict linear way. On the left of the plan a river dissects, offering a curvaceous relief to a rigid geometrical space.
