The brief was to create a public space for exhibition and a private studio space for a chosen “activist”. The design was to represent the ideology of the chosen activist through research into their life and work.
“I need the land, I need it... the energy and life that is flowing through the landscape... that intangible thing that is here and then gone.”
- ANDY GOLDSWORTHY
Light House is a photo gallery, reflection space and sculpture garden that expresses the need to reduce society’s impact on the environment by reflecting on the temporality of all life. Transition and flow are expressed through the long , narrow public space in which the landscape is intentionally framed to control the experience of the site - forcing the viewer to focus, pause and reflect. The private space is one of rest and reflection, embedded within the public gallery and, like Goldsworthy’s art, provides a connection to the land, offering access to the submerged walkway and out into the sculpture garden
