A Market in Bangkok

I didn't make this video, but I wish I had!!

Photographers Gallery, Ramillies Street, London

This is a short video of how the site looks currently.

Photographers Gallery, Ramillies Street, London

Near to Ramillies Street is Oxford Street one of the busiest shopping streets in London. This photo shows the view from Ramillies street onto Oxford Street

This photo was taken from Great Titchfield Street, if you image the scaffolding isn't there you would be able to see the building thats due for demolishion. Even without the scaffolding the access to Ramillies Street to bearly noticable.

And Carnaby Street a thriving pedestrainised area in Soho seen here with Christmas decorations.

Photographers Gallery, Ramillies Street, London

The second project for my third year. The Photographers Gallery in London is moving.
The new site is in Ramillies Street near Oxford Street and Great Marlborough Street.
Below shows the building that is being demolished to make way for the new gallery.

The new gallery has been designed by O'Donnell and Tuomey. Below shows an image taken from the final document O'Donnell and Tuomey produced for the gallery.

Shrubs Wood

This image is to show the layout to Shrubs Wood, and shows where the owners to the woodland live around the wood. The dashed line is the start of a short walk that my colleagues and I took part in.

Kent AONB

Below are some images from the surrounding area near to Shrubs Wood.




Kent AONB

As well as visiting the site, its important to see the surrounding area. To experience the area as well as thoughts and feelings for the site.

This picture shows the boundary that the barrow is very close to, and a meadow in the woodland very close to the barrow.

Below is some of my colleagues and I having a picnic in Shrubs Wood.

Kent AONB

As part of my final year project I went to Kent. Most of Kent is classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The AONB in Kent has been named High Weald, for more information about AONB's and the High Weald click here.
The site for the porject is in a small privately owned woodland, called Shrubs Wood. The main focal point of the site is a Barrow located in the woods. The Barrow is neolithic, which means it dates back to the 1600BC.
These photos show the barrow, but as you can see its not very visible. The proposal for the site is to be cleared and the barrow restored to its basic oval shape. The barrow is roughly 38m long, 20 wide and at its highest point up to 2m. The photo below shows the barrow at its highest point.

From these photos the white line marks the boundary of the trees which are to be cleared from the site. They used to be coppice trees but have been left for too long.


Below shows one of the main routes through the woodland. This path has been classed as a public bridleway. This bridleway runs right next to the barrow, and is the only path that does run near the barrow.
