Seasonal Tectonics

Project details

Programme
Unit Unit 8
Year 3

Great Yarmouth, located in East Anglia, was once a thriving tourist destination and a favourite seaside resort for Brits in the 19th Century. However, with the rise of affordable travel options and the allure of warmer destinations, Great Yarmouth has experienced a significant decline. How can the town be revitalised and made adaptable to future changes?

Seasonal Tectonics explores the potential regeneration of Great Yarmouth through the arts. The architectural approach aims to embrace the town's seasonality and maximise its adaptability. By repurposing architectural fragments, artists are empowered to personalise their working, exhibition, performance and living spaces based on their seasonal needs and activities. Embracing adaptability as the true essence of sustainability, the project incorporates this concept from the masterplan level down to the finest connection details.

Programme

Spring Masterplan

The site landscape has been designed as a promenade leading towards the buildings and the river, utilising materials that evoke the town's rich history.

Spring Exhibition Section

The exhibition space is comprised of permanent stone walls and demountable wood panels. When summer arrives, the panels will be dismantled and relocated to another location.
