taking inspiration from a blog article which showed maps of where people run in major cities i decided to create my own for newcastle, they soon became the foundation of both my projects.

printing the erosion.
the following pages show the detailed territorial explorations produced by printing and rubbing the three clay maps. they became integral to the project. cutting away and scoring the clay emphasised the subtractive nature of the city’s surface, however, in contrast the prints and rubbings that were produced took an additive nature
-
the surface of the paper was built up with ink, charcoal and chalk. this relationship between the
subtractive and additive is present throughout my work this year.

thinking through making: one week of material investigation material forms the core of architecture’s practice
–
be it the material of construction or that of the drawing board or digital interface. the way
making inflects thinking underlies the production of architecture. thinking through making delves into the possibilities of material; the potentials
98
of technologies; the systems of structures; and modes of exploration of material design through making and drawing.

another requirement for the week was to produce a a reflection and exploration of material
drawing’. the topic of which was to explore materiality; drawing as a way of thinking,
decided to explore the erosion and wear of the intervention producing a materialistic
representation; through an accumulation of layering up and taking away would be expresses, through a variety of techniques natural forms of erosion.
