THE NORTH STAR TRAIL

This is it - my imagining of temporary inhabitable coastal instruments along the beautiful moody coast of Jaeren and beyond.

An alignment of self, place and worth

Light pollution in Jaeren

This gives some idea of the key offenders and my opposition.

These are the constellations that we might see if we could see them

North star trail

I have an idea to look at the urbanization of our part of the world in chapters and how this journey north with the diminishing artificial light could be mapped and treated with small temporary inhabitable coastal instuments, strategically placed for the raw experience of coastal walkers following the north star and neighbouring constellations.

BSc Project - Dover wooden boat building school and museum - 2006/07

The town of Dover is really quite a miserable place yet it has some fantastic qualities that give it reason for hope. Along with the famous white cliffs, castle and other fortifications the seafront and marina are quite special. Yet the locals dont see it. I wanted to celebrate there rich history and once strong connection to the sea. Anything other than a carpark and closed public toilet would be and improvement on my site. I looked to the past to shape the future ;)

Jaeren survey

On November 11th-12th we have been in Jaeren for a preliminary survey of the region. We have been following an unreliable italian GPS and this beautiful map. The result: many impressions, and a slide show, that we invite you to see, here.
