A main strategy to develop this idea
is to re-grade the Fens in a very subtle way, so that the figure of Fens
keeps changing responding to fluctuation of water levels with precipitation.
As a water level changes, the experience of the Fens also differs because
a field becomes an island, an island becomes a path, and a path sometimes
even disappears when it rains. Some of the spatial programs are only available
at certain water levels. So the program in my scheme also fluctuates along
with water. One cannot understand the Fens on only one visit. I wanted
to make a place where people can compose their own memory of water and
land in their own way through accumulated layers of memory.
I imagine that the Fens has 3 "designs,"
each of various levels of flooding.
