WEEK 2: WALKSHOP

The walkshop partaken on the 7th of March was an exercise to familarise ourselves how the site can be approached. I chose to focus on the different opportunities for views of the Story Bridge (monument) and how these are revealed to the viewer. I chose to focus on how the site is approached as well as the procession and hierarchy of spaces. I tried to find where along the walk there were connections with the site and where it could be viewed.
Here are a series of photographs taken and sketches completed as part of the exercise on the day.
