Dreams, Machines and the Wilderness explores the New Nature in the form of a facilitated relationship between us and our environment through the machine. It looks at wilderness as a cultural entity that is an idea rather than a physical place. Dreams is explored in the form of illusions and looks at Hampstead Heath as a wilderness illusion and the Machine is the intervention through the reshape the landscape of the Heath.
The project aims to enhance the existing conditions of the Heath Landscape through the proposed Hampstead Heath Dams and Ponds Project. A project initiated by the fear of a catastrophic collapse of the dams in an event of a major storm.
In response to the aims of enhancement, the design proposal is to stage an event of the utmost intensity possible on the Heath, that of which it fears most, the Flood.
