For our Design class first task, Su Ansell has asked us to post 5 site specific images of design that interests us into our online journals.

Given how i wanted to approach this i thought id take some locations originally manamade and designed, and how nature and weathering has made them more interesting to me as it tries to claim them back.

These images are all part of a shared image bank with a close designer friend Jonathan Summers, who I met when i was studying at University of Wales College Newport, we have shared photos and ideas for close to 10 years.

(above)Roche Rock is an old monestry carved out of the granite itself, still standing hundreds of years after its creation, but showing signs of its age as the winds rain and foliage forever try to claim it back.

(above)This is a picture of an old church window in Linton

(above) An abandoned church in Linton.

(Above) Luxulyan Viaduct is a remote valley location in Cornwall, not a stones throw from the now well known Eden Project. In the Summer if you didnt know to look up, the treeline and foliage can become so thick, you would not know this is here.

A water-wheel found just off the White River in St Austell, connected to the china clay industry this rive is more a stream despite its name, this
is one found just after the China Clay Museum near Carthew. I like it when naturally ugly functional designs can become characteristic and styled many years later unintentionally.
