The principles established in this research are expressed through a landscape management strategy, a series of structures that form a seawater desalination plant located in the tidal backwaters north of Walton-on-Naze. The desalination plant aims to re-establish a community within the fragile ecology that exists on the site, shaping how a culture evolves and challenge the disengagement between man and nature that exists.
The physical manifestation of the plant will engage with the geomorphological processes that characterize the landscape, creating a symbiotic relationship with nature and the spiritual roots of place and time. By engaging with the landscape the Desalination plant will attempt to render visible natural processes, challenging the romantic idea of the ‘natural landscape’.
