The final project of third year, started very different to the other projects. It was a much more expressive brief, making us experiment with different materials and drawing styles.
We were to find 3 sites in and around Dundee and investigate these sites through drawing.
My 3 sites were:
1. An a banded area of land looking onto a Pylon
2. A ruin on the coast just south of St Andrews
3. An abandoned set of stairs on the road to Broughty Ferry

After exploring all 3 sites through drawing and mixed media, I choose to look more closely at the coastal ruin. I loved the location of the ruin and the materials and textures on the site. 
After further research, I discovered the ruin is on the Fife Coastal Path, which is a popular walking route. I then decided that I wanted to bring new life into this ruin for walkers, that is why I choose to design a bothy. Bothys are usually found in the mountains and provide shelter for walkers.
I wanted to keep as much of the old ruin as possible, I wanted my design to respect the sandstone structure and compliment it. I designed a glass structure that slots into the existing sandstone walls.
