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.
