For this project i have been exploring the geological map of Canterbury to see how it may effect the the site (Canterbury School of Architecture). After 'digging deep' into the soils, i have picked up the concept of the Apocalypse, where nature 'takes over' the human habitats. In my case though i have done it so that the soils take over the building, so the closer the building element comes to the earth, the more it is of its original form, for ex. brick becomes sandstone, concrete- limestone, glass-sand, etc.
The boundaries between architecture and landscape are dissolved, so the CSA building is now part of the terrain map of Canterbury. It is occupied with the nature, and only few elements upstairs remind of the human culture that has been there years ago.
