Cathedral strategy

For the walkways around the cathedral i imagined something similar to the Allmannajuvet Musuem by Zumthor, because of its delicate, almost impermanent appearance. However, post staging my concepts around the walkway system developed and became more scaffold like, this buildings volumetric appearance remained significant though

No Entry

Our site visit was particularly significant in informing this decision because upon visiting we were unable to get near the cathedral or see the work being done. Whilst this was likely due to health and safety, it made me consider that so often, restoration goes on behind closed doors, and that this was a missed opportunity for education of the genral public.

Thinking through making week afforded me the opportunity to develop the concepts discussed in my Staging review. This meant using the week to explore the scaffold like frame around the cathedral as the unifying element of my design. Thus my model developed into a concept model for my project at this stage. Two concrete cubes encased in a wooden scaffold like structure.
