Seeds of Change
This project is a provocation for the future of nuclear power stations. Through nature, in the form of seeds, the landscape of Sizewell is healed both environmentally and socially, repairing the fractured relationships that have arisen because of nuclear power’s controversial tendencies. The design reinstates and creates new ecological habitats within the site of Sizewell power station, re-introducing new life to the ‘habitat hole’ along the Suffolk coastline caused by the power station. The landscape provides the stage, spotlighting the emerging environmental crisis and the seeds perform the role of ‘activists,’ acting as a voice for the landscape and signaling the urgency of change needed.
Artefacts Masterplan
The ‘artefacts’ emerge across the site, healing the habitat hole created along the coastline by Sizewell Nuclear Power Station. These artefacts also act as a barometer of change for both environmental and social pressures that affect the site.
Woodland Bioremediation
Bioremediation timeline of the woodland modules as the woodland artefact is reinstated in its original location over a period of time.
Sunflower Harvest
During the phased bioremediation of the woodland, sunflowers are harvested once toxic and radioactive elements have been absorbed and stored in the plant’s biomass, removing pollutants from the soil.
The Seed Bank
Seeds are collected, stored, and propagated for use throughout the site. Seeds become ‘activists’ as they are consciously spread through the site in response to social and environmental factors, initiating conversation and debate.
The Talking Chamber: The Intersection of Pathways
Different actors take differing journeys through the landscape, meeting at a central, neutral space for conversation and debate. Seeds spread through human movement inhabit the space in correlation to human use.
