at the University of Nottingham, UK, St. Mary’s Church is an entropic
product, dealing with a series of interrelating networks in a dynamic,
fluctuating and self-augmenting system. Mechanisms maintain the coastal
balance, whilst the architectures of Happisburgh are continually
consumed through a cycle of 200 years. Elements from previous systems
become reclaimed devices, suspended for eternity in the sunken courtyard
of the time arena, a metamorphosis of energy. The architecture seeks to
establish a new legacy of St. Mary, one of saviour and recollection,
sacrificing the graves of HMS Invinsible to the storms, in exchange for
the salt lines that inform the scavenging mechanisms of the impending
loss.
A system of petrification and archive, these lands may be re-augmented but they will never be forgotten.
