Addition By Subtraction aims to create a nursery of native plants in the Tout Quarry, providing educational access for the public to memorialise the quarrying process. The seedlings of plants can be transported to the neighbouring quarry, Bowers Quarry, developing a sustainable cycle to rehabilitate the future of a used quarry.
Relationship Between the Sites
The Tout Quarry is situated to the north of Bowers Quarry, which is planned to be disused in the future.
Design Process - Zoning and Experience Sequence
The design area is concentrated in the southwest of the site. The design area has been divided according to different habitats, zoned into terraced valley, rockery and quarry field.
Design Masterplan
By designing the spaces with different themes according to the steps of the quarrying process, people can experience the process of quarrying in the old method and promote the popularisation of quarrying knowledge.
