Swamp capsule camp

Darkness is starting to swallow the fields around you, until even the horizon disappears from view, but we follow north. Slowly you can see the first light come into view. The smell of the meal cooking by the fire. You have reached your home and you are safe, cradled by the lights and warmth around you.

Weaving Willow Wetlands Visitor Centre

Weaving, observed as essentially an act of intertwining twigs and strands of a plant, stems or grass into an object, is in this case observed abstracted of the strands and twigs, and as an intertwining of two wholes - the wetlands - as natural environment, and a building - a man made object that is inevitably disrupting nature by only its being.

WETLAND LOOP TRAILS

It is, by common consent, a good thing for people to get back to nature. But wherein lies the goodness, and what can be done to encourage its pursuit? Aldo Leopold

ROMAN HUT - roman inspired country club & spa

A project inspired by Britain's rich Roman heritage. Bathhouses were very important places in the life of every Roman. Almost every small town owned them. Bathhouses did not serve exclusively as places for maintaining hygiene, they were very often also a catalyst for the social dynamics of the entire society. Something like a modern country club.

AQUALUTION CENTER /Water purification center/

Project is collection of ecology and tourism history. It should pay homage to the technological achievements and history of the site, repay the debt to nature that has been depleted at the site, and be a place where visitors will come and perceive both the historical significance and the driving and scientific part with its visitor character.

Tadej

Blackwood folklore interpretation center

Through history, swamps have been inspirations for countless folklore stories. From demonic creatures leading you into the swamp to leave you stranded, to mysterious lights believed to be omens of death, swamps have a very rich history of provoking mystical experiences. The educational center will be a space preserving the heritage of folk stories.

MYCELIUM PATH wetland research center

"There are some truths, even fundamental ones, that tend to escape us. The most fundamental truth about our home on Earth is that all living things are interconnected. This fact, although important mainly as a physical principle, carries implications even of a spiritual nature.” - Starer, 1956.

The BEWITCHED swamp of England

Swamp atmosphere, being dark and humid, indicates that it was once and for all left by the good spirits. Now, it is a place where demons, witches and the Devil himself reside – an environment that leaves no person indifferent.

THE SINGULARITY - a Mangrove Peculiarity

As doors to the next world go, a bog isnt a bad choice. It`s not quite water and its not quite land - it`s an in-between place. - Miss Peregrene`s Home For Peculiar Children
