My project proposes a series of interventions into the existing condition of our unit's site- Hampstead Heath- in the form of a series of threshold elements that replace and enhance existing fences and boundaries and introduce new structures for the heath. These were informed by an extensive body of research and mapping of historic and existing conditions and features of Hyde Park and Hampstead Heath; and an analysis of how living in such constant and close proximity to the digital realm might affect and be affected by our experience of making use of the heath; and an investigation into a fabrication process that would be appropriate for this context.
