'Excavating Rhythms' is a case study exploring the brain as a drawing tool. By utilising a digital drawing machine that records and generates line drawings based on real-time brain wave data, the project aims to create a new language for landscape and site design. Situated in the archaeological area of Fiesole, Tuscany, the project emphasises its connection to the site's history and endeavours to visualise our intangible reactions, emotions and connections to external stimuli through a series of drawings. By incorporating historical stimuli associated with the site, the project enables the encoding of human experiences and memories into the physical space. Drawing inspiration from ancient performances on the site, the project programme is an archaeological archive and restoration studio that respects the history of the site and employs the drawings as a guiding tool, allowing a design language to evolve from the rhythmic patterns recorded. Celebrating the history while staying true to the behaviour of an archaeological site, the project assembles hidden fragments and memories to create a new narrative and perspective.
