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.
