Negotiating the Wreckage
An adult education centre for traditional crafts sits upon and within the ruined church of St Mary-le-Port in Bristol’s Castle Park. Through a reappropriation of L’Art du Trait techniques in fabrication drawing, practices of woodworking, ceramics, and stone masonry reside both within the building and its design.
The project is formulated to address the underprivileged Bristolians while questioning heritage administration and craft preservation, using the programme to reinstate the old church volumetry and create an exhibition of reconditioned artefacts.
The building manifests as an architectural debate on the role of the church remains it hosts in its enclosing. It gives an angle on the preconceived holistic view of a ruin and its purpose.
While the existing low stone walls dictate the volumetry of the building, they are showcased as habitable objects, structural elements, and exhibited artefacts alike.
Flimwell Prototype
The project is a story of craft preservation and its by-product. It anchors itself in the
realm of woodworking and revolves around the story of The House of the Vettii.
