TANNERY BASIN.

Some of my work from the last studio project. After visiting the sight and speaking to a number of people involved with the restoration of the Wey and Arun Canal we were asked to come up with proposals for a small section of the proposed extension of the canal near Shadwell, off Tannery Lane Bridge. The substantial site is currently a scrubland home to a a large number of invasive species such as Urtica Dioica.
I found this project very challenging, firstly because i have never really worked on a rural project, secondly because I felt that the clients demands were unrealistic thus making it very hard to tackle the project.Time played an important role and i wanted to create an inviting public open space that changes over time. It also needed to be considerate to the local residents and an peaceful yet productive open space.
