Through a detailed exploration of mistranslated manufacturing processes, this project proposes the groundwork for an architectural testing site. Set in a desolate marshland, the manipulated landscape provides cues for locating permanence: at any one time, there exists just enough design to enable future architectures but not enough to shut down potential. 

PF2: Groundworks Plate

One of eight CNC engraved aluminium plates at the scale of 1:200.

A Kit of Parts

A scan of the CNC woodblocks directly informs the resin caps that sit over the manipulated ground.

Plan of the Workshops

A 1:100 fragment plan showing the timber and metal workshops, the partially covered assembly space, and the individual working unit. Construction is perpetually underway, and so the plan remains incomplete.

Up Towards the Timber Workshop

A Series of Prints Showing Rendered Views Through the Site

There prints: PJv02: South Aerial; PKv01; From Across the Brook; and PIv03: An Obscured Perspective.
