Barrington North: The Geology of a Village, investigates ideas of transplantation, both of identity and material. The project conceives of a future design strategy for the rapidly changing Parish of Barrington, in the face of an influx of 15 million tonnes of urban soil. It follows the narrative of the incoming urban soil, from HS2, through to its infilling of a local quarry and its role in the creation of a new village typology. It tells the story of what Barrington North could be if an opportunistic attitude were taken to the current context, thereby creating a unique sense of place that is derived from two interwoven material systems - that of extraction (Barrington Cement Works) and that of infilling (HS2 landfill). It aims to create a proposal that honours their legacy and supports everyday life within a new artificial topography, using the incoming soil to its practical advantage and in the creation of a new identity for the parish. Through this unique relationship to manipulated landscape, the project celebrates the relationship between landscape and inhabitant, which defines rural life.
