Alney Island Reflective collage

 


I created this areal map collage after visiting Alney Island for the first time. I had expected the space to feel very wild and naturalistic, but it instead gave me a feeling of wasteland- as if although it is greenfield is has a distinctly human disregard about it.
I felt that this method of collage would effectively demonstrate my feelings of the site, as it felt 2D and flat to me. I struggled to identify any real patterns in spatial configuration and felt that everything present in the space had been dumped there long ago to serve an outdated purpose.
I included vibrant countryside imagery to remind myself of the site's beautiful surroundings and the potential that the space has, to become a well-balanced and attractive combination of nature and people. I intend to revisit the site in the next few days and hopefully will gain a better feel for the space.
