MArch Year 2

Installation B013

Unit 16

Brief: LAND

P.g. 2-6

The project takes the form of an immersive event, within Installation B013, in order to propose an extension to the existing Pilgrimage of Los Doloros. This event intended to sensibilise and immerse viewers into the narrative situation of Father Lorenzo Curvello’s perceptual break of place, during the 1730-36 Timanfaya eruption.

This is a study on a new perceptual methodology through architecture, established by old ways of seeing the world.

Committal Grounds

Unit 14

Brief: DIALOGUES

P.g. 7-11

A series of structures that inhabit an isolated copse and stretch out across the old Grand Ascent of Greenwich Park. These structures are tasked with the decommissioning of a dying tree, its fell predicted and choreographed. Stations sit on fragile ground, inspired by the act of kadaververjugung, translate: cadaver rejuvenation.

The main structure directs a procession through ritualised stages of committal. The felled oak is re purposed as material used in promession burial (cryogenic cremation) from which a new forest will grow.

“To this solitary end, they have constructed their architecture, their technology, their culture. It is a culture of continuous change and unpredictable change, requiring immense physical, emotional and intellectual poise, because the continuity of life for them is built upon the fragility of moments”.

Lebbeus Woods 1989. Underground Berlin.

DECOMMISSION AND THE FELL

Learning from arboricultural techniques and attitudes.

Stretching the fell of a diseased Turkey oak, choreographing its death to reduce the shock to the local environment. Armatures act as climbers, informed by G. F. Beranek’s: The Fundamentals of General Tree Work.

COMMITTAL STRUCTURE

Centre structure facilitates the act of procession and decommission.

Structure uses the material from the oak to supply a funeral home practicing Promession, converting human clinical waste into plant food.
