BRITISH LAND - PROCESS.

We just finished our model of metal and now we are working on concrete one! Workshops!! 

GROUP WORKSHOP - THEME - STUDENTS FEES&CUTS

Many students cannot pay so much money for education, so they are forced to find their way to pay. We made a maze (in the Parade Ground at Chelsea), which is like a symbol of difficulties, wandering, trying to find a way out from high fees, escape from the barriers, which government just set up for all students. There is a way out – always – but not everyone can afford that – “because my daddy can’t pay”. (Quote from the student protest sign)

CREATING A SHAPE.

When i visited Southend-on-sea shore, i noticed that around the pier there are lots of mussels, which are sticked on some piece of timber and other pier constructions. At the bottom of the river, where the level of water is very low, mussels stick together in a shape of the sphere, meanwhile, next to the mussel lumps, you can notice plenty of them which lie separate and from time to time stick to each other to create a bigger structure. This is a natural transformation of forms, which are the great inspiration for my work.

VISITING THE SITE. SOUTHEND-ON-SEA

I decided to visit the East side of England, where the Thames Estuary is getting wider, where there are no connections between two parts of London suburbs, no bridges, no ferries, just huge cargo ships coming from the North Sea. I went to Southend On Sea, seaside resort in Essex, where is the world's longest pleasure pier in the world - Southend Pier. This pier was designed by James Brunlees and opened in 1830. 




















The total length is 2.158 kilometres 1.341 mi (it took about half an hour to walk one way, but there is possible to take a train from the shore to the pier head).
