- 10. Tactile Ascent Fourth Year Project @UWE_ SketchUp/Photoshop/Manual Drafting/Physical Models A climbing centre located amid the industrial landscape of Sharpness, Gloucestershire. Present in Sharpness is a clear dichotomy between industry and nature. This influenced research into a fascination with ruins, evident through contemporary practice and historic accounts. This dichotomy has been expressed in the building by contrasting functional spaces with a natural landscape, reinforced by the work of Georg Simmel and his essay The Ruin, 1911. Influenced by Urban Climbing, Urban Exploration, and sculptural landscapes, this climbing centre aims to create a variety of individual experiences and freedom to explore a variety of spaces and surfaces, both internal and external.
