ART IN THE FOREST
Hilsea lines which is also known as foxes forest used to be a military base. 6 bastions were built around the area to protect the island from an invasion, fortunately it never happened.
The fortification still remains and left untouched but today the area is used as a greenspace and leisure area
Pictures of the gra ti art around hilsea lines, some of which I wasn’t able to capture.
While I do think vandalism is bad, there’s still no doubt that it is still beautiful, it also shows how just how creative the people at hilsea are.
S W O T
Site has many green areas making it very serene and natural
It’s where the forti cations are, making it a historic site, also there’s a world war one meuseum at on the the bastions
No proper enterance to the site
(lacks sense of arrival)
Not many people know about the area much (more like ‘if you know, you know’ Like a maze, has no directions
Can be noisy
Choosing the right area for the pavilion to be seen.
Could make a clear path to the pavilion
Having a marker on enterances
Making something that would be intresting for the site
Overtime people might get board with said trails, therefore needs to have something that would attract people to come again and not just once o .
Precedent reseach for trails and way nding
Sketches of trail and way nding ideas
QR code so that people can scan it and it will give information about the art work, therefore it could be interactive
For my trial and way ndings I decieded to an art exhibition so that local artists can showcase their work

Site analysis
Vegetation
Started with 8x5 box, which represents the activity room
THE ART IN THE FOREST HUB
Multiplied the box by 6, for each workshop
Exploring on space locations on site
Extruded the plane rectangles up to 4m in height
Rearranging the boxes to see what ts best
Added more boxes for di erent spaces/uses. moved all the boxes near the moat and pathway
Di erent pathways to go to the building
Changed the orientation so that more of the moat could be seen

Materials
For materials I decided to use the same materials that are already existing on site so that it connects with the existing context
