Hospitalfield Site Analysis

Im not gonna write about the things on the site, like views and crap, cos somebody else will, there are no views anyway, unless you like a big huge mc donalds sign in the middle of your seascape, i was intrigued as you may have guessed from my blog by rabbits, i really cant explain why, i just got hung up on it, anyway. I went out to arbroath twice and the second time, well it was a much nicer day firstly, and it was a bit springy, nice snowdrops dotted around the place, and loadsa rabbit holes.




So i thought, its a retreat, and what better retreat than a rabbit hole, they go there for protection, utter removal from the world, the mystery of whats going on down there, sort of an alice in wonderland idea!




So i decided that my building would be literally a retreat, literally removed from the world. I had the idea in my head of burying it, and i was looking at these kinda precedents.


The last precedent is skara brae ancient colony on the orkney isles, that got me thinking about the sense of community that i could create within "the burrow"
