The Ruination of Castle Market

This project transforms the Castle Market building into a historic ruin. The site is re-wilded through the careful reintroduction of plants and trees, chosen not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for their destructive capabilities to accelerate the ruination of Castle Market. Walkways are built through the trees to allow people to experience the new forest. The project recognises the importance of planting and landscape in city centres in otherwise densely urban areas devoid of nature, with a view to environmental resilience and absorbing climatic fluctuations.
