Weirs ar a necessary component for diverting, dewatering, and dredging segments
of the Fens. Weirs could be designed to in a way that pieces of the weir
remain after the construction/dredging has been completed. Walkways across
the top of the weirs used during construction to cross the dredging site
could remain as bridges. The weirs should be constructed of industrial materials,
so that it is evident that it is an element that has been imposed on the
landscape.
It should also reference the process of dredging and reference the passage
of time. Other elements of the dredging process, such as staging areas for
construction could remain taking on new functions. Another important product
of the dredging process is the dirt itself. This dirt can be used to create
new forms or to enhance existing spaces. |
