Mediator (Hospitalfields Trip)

For our first project back we went to Hospitalfields in Arbroath, which is about 15minutes drive away from Dundee. The purpose of this project was, as a group, to a produce an outcome which we felt was representative of the site itself. Hospitalfields has been passed down through many different families, and it is apparent in the building, which looks rather disjointed and really gives the viewer a sense of growth. The day we visited was a cold, dull day, and much of the parts of the site that I had looked forward to seeing, were dampened. Our senses overall were dampened, and it left nearly all of us coming away with a feeling of desolation and loneliness from the site. Below are a selection of some of the more interesting photographs I took at Hospitalfields. Another purpose of our visit was to get a feel for the surrounding area, as part of the site would be being used by us for our next design project.

Here is the Hospitalfields website for those interested in learning more about the area:
