I was interested in looking at the historical aspects of the site such as the air raid shelters and the bridge. I was looking at the function of the shelter as a refuge and a place of safety and seclusion.
I wanted to create a Folie which appreciated the beauty of the bridge and reminded viewers of its uniqueness. I am interested in its form, it's structurally expressive nature and scale. I was also looking at the geometric nature of the bridge. This could be abstracted to create interesting forms.
This is a rough sketch of my concept of the air raid shelter as sites of refuge and safety. My concept was looking an an air raid shelter as a place of safety and calmness amidst an environment of chaos: it is calm on the inside and harsh and scary on the outside.
