Alney Island- Intial ideas




Attraction

Soluna holds quarterly fashion/ runway events. This is its largest attraction in terms of crowd.

However, at other times of the year there are; natural workshops, art and sculpture exhibitions, soundscapes, holistic events, educational workshops etc. There's something for all ages.

Audience

Festival audience is 20-50, with fans of couture fashion, creatives, people drawn to immersion and ecotourists. 

The surrounding site also caters towards these people, but also a wider age range and with wider interests. 

Scale

This site is designed to grow and shrink as needed, with grassland meadows that can be mown to create a range of sized spaces. 

The scale of Soluna fashion events is estimated at 3,000 attendees.

Gate entry

Soluna fashion events are paid events. Due to the nature of them being couture fashion shows, ticket prices will be £30. 

For premium ticketing, drinks, meal etc. will be included in the ticket pricing. 

For non-festival entry, there is no cost and year-round access. Some exhibits and workshops may be paid events.

PWP Landscape Architecture - TANNER FOUNTAIN, HARVARD UNIVERSITY

Image
  This water feature really captured my interest as I have never seen a water feature that appears so fog-like. It really creates a surreal atmosphere.  “For three seasons of the year the nozzles emit a dematerializing mist while in winter steam from the university heating plant creates a fog around the fountain. ”   (PWP, n.d.) This therefore makes the space able to be used throughout the seasons. In the summer months the mist will have a cooling effect on anyone that sits close by and in the winter the steam from the heating plant will warm the surrounding area very slightly.

This is something I need to consider, that not every water feature needs to look the same and that the entire feel of a place can be altered by granite rocks and a mist attach...

Kim Wilkie - Orpheus at Boughton

Image
  I chose to look at the designer Kim Wilkie because I was fascinated by the strong use of mathematical symbols and geometry in this garden. This is not how I personally choose to approach design. However, I am drawn in by the meaning behind his design choices. For example, the inverted pyramid “Orpheus” that descends 7m below the surrounding grass was built to reflect the raised mound next to it “Mount Olympus”. People can walk down this pyramid and look into the shallow pool at the bottom that reflects the sky above. I have recently learnt about labyrinths and their use for promoting peace and reflection, although this isn’t a labyrinth, I’m sure it has a similar effect. Wilkie named this inverted pyramid after a famous musician in Greek mythology, who when his wife died, he went into the underworld to try to reclaim her. Hades found his music so beautiful that he returned Orpheus’ wife to the world of the living. (Boughton House, 2022). Deep meaning like this is something I...
