The End of the Atomic Age
It is likely that Sizewell C will be the last nuclear plant built in the UK, signalling the end of the atomic age. The intergenerational timescales of nuclear energy production and climate change create a cognitive dissonance at the level of individual experience. This project presents a poetic review of the atomic age; reflecting the collective attitudes of fear and hope around nuclear technology. By considering the 200-year lifespan of Sizewell nuclear power station and projecting a future scenario brought on by climate change, this project designs a series of spaces which call attention to the effects of climate change and aims to memorialise the legacies of nuclear power as the atomic age comes to an end.

Access of Water Management Zone
The water management zones are elements reserved from the construction period. It controls access during the power plant’s operation.
Green Boundary
A linear coniferous woodland is planted during construction to mediate construction dust and noise. It continues to grow over the projected lifetime of the power station, serving as a public green space.
Climate Meter
This is a visual meter of climate change. After the sea wall fails and saltwater enters, the space for human activities is reduced and salt-tolerant plants will grow in its place.
