Augmented Reverberation
“Our understanding of the world today does not foster an architecture of the aesthetic ‘Masterpiece’ – Instead the architecture’s form and image will generate and will exist in time, has to be adaptable, sustainable, pragmatic and generic.”
NICOLA GERBER, UNIT LEADER, TRANSIENT TECTONICS STUDIO
“As our environment, culture and economy continues to become increasingly transient, the British Isles struggle to produce its own industry. The Isle of Sheppey, which owes its name to the Saxons ’Sceapige’, meaning Isle of Sheep, hosts an isolated marshy landscape, where the atmosphere is quiet and haunting. Scarred by the intermittent presence of heavy industry, rivers, ditches and dereliction, it is here, away from the distractions of our visually dominated western culture, that the mind is allowed to wonder and our senses that are constantly suppressed begin to awaken”
WILLIAM GOWLAND
Inspired by the remote windswept beauty and the vanishing industrial heritage of the Isle of Sheppey, an island off the Northern Kent coast William sought to address a landscape which may in some eyes be considered a hinterland not suitable for occupation. His proposal acted as a plug in to the landscape-not to impose itself- but to follow the studio ethos and adapt to this place. A programme is not an imposed condition of the brief but rather an intuitive response to several factors. It is the consideration of the study to address appropriate issues. William drew upon the contextual conditions of geology, time, culture, imagination, myth, as well as rhythms, cycles, the weather and the fluvial environment. These are somewhat different conditions and as a result the path towards a final result is unknown initial. It is through a questioning of these conditions that a tectonic -scape is formed.

Featured Artist: Nick Smith – 3D Visualiser
Hello and welcome to the new category – “Featured Artist”.
This week we are proud to showcase some work by 3D Visualiser – Nick Smith.
Coming from a design and technical drawing background, and working in the construction sector for a number of years in both Spain and the UK, Nick has supplied visuals of proposed renovations, extensions and landscape designs for client approval before work commenced.
Since then he has discovered the power of Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) and developed the necessary skills to provide scaled, photorealistic visuals and animation incorporating the correct textures, lighting and background scenes to give the client a detailed and accurate vision of the finished project.
Nick is willing and able to travel to provide a service which can be essential for architects, interior and exterior designers, property developers and even home owners to aid with planning applications or sales and marketing requirements before your developments are even completed.
