Studio 2.1

Project details

Programme
Year 2
Tutors Philippe Duffour,  Andrew Gillen,  Aurore Julien,  James Purkiss and Amelia Vilaplana de Miguel

In Studio 2.1, we took the extraordinary place of Dungeness as a testbed to explore new sensibilities towards the environment. Our first projects speculated on the future of Derek Jarman’s garden at Prospect Cottage. His garden ‘without boundaries’ demonstrates an acute appreciation of the climate and microclimates of Dungeness. Through virtual interventions we explored how the garden will continue to develop and respond to a changing climate. In our second projects we reflected on Derek Jarman’s decision to move to Dungeness and asked what might bring people to live together, with each other, and with nature in this remote location. Building programmes were developed individually and included birdwatchers cohousing, a stargazing hotel and flood resilient housing for households displaced by sea level rise.

Emily Wang, Oenanthe Oenanthera

Emily Wang, Oenanthe Oenanthera

Oenanthe Oenanthera is an apparatus inspired by birds’ incidental adaptation to the wind. The Oenanthera detects a point where flight becomes turbulent, a point that humans would otherwise not experience.

Sanara Piensuparp, The Funnel of Prospect

The project investigates light conditions of the future. To transport the viewer from the 1st Nov 2020 to the 1st Nov 2420, incoming light is subjected to intensity reduction and colour correction.

Phoebe Hensley, Composition of Decay

Inspired by Derek Jarman's garden, this project investigates the process of decay in a Sea Kale leaf. In the exposed Dungeness environment, this native plant undergoes a continuous cycle of decay and regrowth.

Jing Chi Li, Wave Archive

Carved upon the shingles is the documentation of Dungeness' wave intensity as a circular time series, whose shape is reflective of the energy generation of an offshore wave energy converter.

Albedo Future is a gabion wall filled with shingles sorted by colour going from the lightest to the darkest. The wall simulates the effects of future lower albedo values on native plant growth.

Yueyao Wang, Eco-Mirrors

This project explores the relationship between the ideal growing conditions of the California poppy and the microclimates around Prospect Cottage.

Phoebe Hensley, Natural Cohabitation

Phoebe Hensley, Natural Cohabitation

This older people’s cohousing project imagines mutually beneficial cohabitation between older people and native birds. Geometries and flows through the building invite integration and mixing of the human and avian residents.

Ekaterina Lopatina, Dungeness Library

This project explores the use of shingles to create a variety of spaces and daylight conditions for a range of activities.

Sanara Piensuparp, The Amorphous Apiary

Bees residing in the sanctuary will not be ‘kept’ but encouraged to take refuge from extreme weather events and enjoy the abundance of flowers with staggered bloom times provided by the host building.

Bianca Bodo, Starry Night Resort

The rooms are arranged in the form of the Draco constellation and designed for stargazing and minimising light pollution. Platforms limit the interaction with the ground and protect its wildlife.

Sara Sesma Costales, A Resilient Housing Community

The use of flooding as an environmental driver will allow the construction of a resilient group of modular structures, where water is used to the advantage of the residents.

Hanaa Yakoub, Landscape Photography Centre

This project establishes a new landmark to explore and appreciate the Kent landscape. The key inspirations are the five daily Islamic prayers as an integral part of the community’s spiritual wellbeing.

Thomas Steip, The Ghost Net Campaign Outpost

This project seeks to reunite the fishing community of Dungeness around a new ethos for recycling ghost nets.
