Alternative Rurality
The AR project proposes a way in which we can better integrate into the rural landscape, though learning from materials and the natural systems associated with agriculture (the fruit forest). At the broadest scale, the project is a wildlife corridor, that runs through the middle of Swindon, within the corridor, a fruit forest is planted, and bridges connect isolated habitats. The forest provides ecological services to Swindon and produces fruit wine, which is made within the building. Along with this, there are facilities to rehabilitate animals from the immediate area and a breeding facility for endangered pollinators. The project will also engage with the area through the initiation of a white stork reintroduction program.

Project title
Introduced in the heart of Reading Town, Hogmanay, the Scottish celebration of New Years, brings a large infusion of culture and festivity to the local area. Cock-a-Leekie soup, being an integral cuisine of the Scottish, accompanies the festivities. The influx of Hogmanay culture, introduced by the arrival of the Soup Facility, will indulge Reading in a host of traditions that seek to bring people together to celebrate the New Year and the fresh start that follows midnight. On New Year’s Eve in Reading, the public are invited to join in the activities, including; farming the ingredients for the soup, trying the soup, setting Juniper branches alight at midnight, Ceilidh dancing, drinking homemade Gin, and the chance to watch as the chefs produce the soup from raw ingredients on site.
