Time Travel Landscapes is sited in Canterbury, which holds historical significance as the centre of many ancient pilgrimage routes. However, the original routes are no longer accessible to the public.
The overall design scheme addresses these issues, proposing a new accessible route intersecting with the ancient pathways, thereby making them accessible once more to the public. This journey aims to infuse a modern touch into the historical narrative for travellers, offering a transformative experience. The inclusion of vineyards along the route will transport travellers to different historical epochs, creating a visual and experiential representation of the surroundings.
The project also focuses on developing a space for travellers at the end of this route. Since the final point of the route lies along the River Stour, in a flood-prone area, the final intervention will incorporate cultivating vineyards as the primary scheme while proposing strategies to manage floods, ensuring accessibility throughout the year. The production of wine will strengthen the connections to the nearby areas, creating employment opportunities for both locals and immigrants.
The project proposes a space for travellers at the final point of the route. The intervention incorporates cultivating vineyards as the primary scheme while also proposing strategies to manage floods.
