The project attempts to embed an architecture within the wider assembly of the landscape. Scattered across Bodmin Moor, the building acts as a kind of settlement or ritual that draws on the medieval perspective of trying to make sense of our surroundings through construction. The dual material language that reflects the two dominant soil types on-site takes careful consideration of the ground footing as well as our relationship with it.

The design methodology made up of compression, excavation and borderlines makes for a gradual and archaeological process of architectural discovery that mirrors the user's experience of a building that creeps up on them. Within the methodology, the analysis of the ground footing takes on a reverse kind of archaeology. Instead of excavating the ground downwards to discover stories of the past, it draws in upwards to enable the invention of architectural futures. Eventually the project will begin to question at what point do borders and ground conditions become architecture and what is the human position within this, as each space plays with scale and fixings on the z-axis.
