The Belt Transect Part 2 Project 2020 Jessica Leggett Northumbria University Newcastle | UK This thesis investigates the processes evident within the dune-scapes’ coastal conditions, highlighting the importance of revealing the invisible. Set within the strong character of Bamburgh, the intervention creates insight to the ‘hidden’ processes and histories that lie beneath its cascading dunes. Through analysis of place, using methodologies from the processes of archaeology and geography, the proposal seeks to question the affect of the Anthropocene on our landscapes edges, and propose a ‘belt transect’ in order to measure and bring about awareness to the unnoticed affects of climate change through the archiving of curios found in the dune. The scheme will provide a place experience, measure and analyse the landscape, providing education and joy of nature to people of today, whilst defending its legacy for the future. The scheme challenges the British relationship with landscape, the coast, our nostalgic tendencies, and the anthropogenic impacts of over the last centuries assault on the atmosphere. By implementing an architectural device within the dune to monitor and express the invisible processes within the protected natural setting, the scheme will illustrate the loss that could incur as a result of coastal changes in sea, edge, dune and land as a result of our negligence.
