The document summarizes Hermione Finch's visit to Trinity Buoy Wharf and Greenwich University in London. At Trinity Buoy Wharf, the industrial environment featured shipping containers and factory buildings. It had a weathered, rusticated appearance contrasting with newer container housing. The area encouraged creative expression through graffiti, sculptures and paintings. Greenwich University had a uniform Baroque style across its campus, which some parts like the Painted Hall and Chapel were intricately detailed but overpowering. During the visit, bones from sheep and other animals were found along the river shore, inspiring further research into the river's history and use.
2. Trinity Buoy WharfTrinity Buoy Wharf
When we visited Trinity Buoy Wharf we were immediately welcomed by a
very Industrial appearing environment.
Factors of the area that added to this feel came from elements including:
Shipping containers- both
used and adapted into
building ( Container City)
Factory Buildings
Work Space environment-

3. Trinity Buoy Wharf
This location to me appeared very
rusticated, with the a large
majority of the area appearing
worn and weathered. Which is
understandable due to the age of
some of these objects.
However this also contrasted with
the newer more modern elements
such as Container City, which
looked shiny and new in
comparison.

4. Trinity Buoy Wharf
I found Trinity Buoy Wharf and the surrounding
area to have a very creative atmosphere.
It felt that the urge to express was encouraged as
the area featured a variety of art forms including:
Graffiti
Sculptures
Paintings

5. GreenwichGreenwich
Greenwich University/ Old Royal Navy College I
found was a complete contrast to Trinity Buoy
Wharf
It featured a much more uniform style with there
being a general theme and repetition in form
throughout the campus
6. The Painted Hall along side the Chapel were
both very intricately detailed.
Although both areas are incredibly beautiful,
they didnt inspire me a lot. I feel that the
large scale and immense detail can be
overpowering, along with the repeated
Baroque style.

Seeing the difference
between the two areas,
did help me realise my
own personal influences.
Such as what styles and
themes inspired me the
most.
7. Discoveries
While at Greenwich University we walked down to shore of the
river, where the tied had gone out. While walking and looking
around I found some interesting items.
I first noticed the large
variety of mussel shells, so I
thought it should collect an
example. However I also
noticed a large section of a
sheep's jaw sticking out of
the river mud. Not only is
this find interesting but it
also tell the history and use
of the river. As well as the
jaw bone I also found
another smaller jaw bone
section and another broken
bone.

8. Work
Due to the unfortunate bad weather
on the day of the trip, I didnt gather a
large variety of work. I did try
however to gather information in
different ways such as taking photos
and collecting things such as the
bones I found of the river.
The observational drawings I did
manage to draw on the day still hold
worth to me even though personally I
feel they lack detail. They are still a
helpful source of infom.tion to refer
back to
Work
9. Idea for a Brief
I would say my findings of Bones have inspired me a great deal. They
made me question the use of the River. This is something I think I will
research and focus on a specific time frame (possibly Victorian
London).
