An Undressed Land

Tormor quarry, a left behind space used for material extraction. Within these abandoned quarries a particular form of interaction between man and land and their adaptation occurs and unfolds where natures compromises with the past impact of man over it. The site reveals a interpose of forms of matter, where land is metabolised throughout the site.
 
Through a study of the underlining historical and speculative narratives, beginnings of spaces are introduced that simply establish previous areas of use. The site being a manifestation of its past, designated spaces are pre marked, not only by physical forms, structures and lines on maps but by marks and residues that imprint on the land. Re-proposing the primal program of a stone working infrastructure, the granite scattered around the landscape is moved, worked upon, build out of and inhabited, as it was.
 
The structures remain incomplete, suggesting potential for their development of construction or deconstruction. Instructing the past and enabling the future. The project looks at three stages of processes, the found conditions of a landscape that is created by removal of matter. Re integrating human inhabitation and past social affairs established unintentionally by the workers. Finally allowing the site for a re construction of itself.
