PERIPHERY ABANDON
Journey from Gravesend to Cliffe Fort
Periphery Abandon is an exploration of architectural interventions that seek to re-engage the Gravesend and London areas with the peripheral landscape of the Thames Estuary. The aim is to interpret personal moments within the peripheral landscape and translate them into pavilions that offer opportunities for exploration, leisure, and education.

The layered landscape of the Thames Estuary offers a rich blend of nature and human activity through time.
From the remnants of the past such as Shornemead Fort, The Hans Egede Wreck, Cliffe Fort, and concrete antitank blocks from WW2, to the Empire Windrush docking at Tilbury Docks in 1948, sand extracting jetties, nature reserves, and feral horses.
The proposed pavilions within the peripheral landscape are designed to enhance the existing trail along the southern Thames bank. They offer opportunities for visitors to interact with and engage with the richly layered experience of the area.
