Week 1
The start of this project is a daunting task. I found that the prospect of formulating and reviewing possibilities was a bit overwhelming and I struggled to find a focus for the project. The first task for me, to establish the research question for this project is to review my previous projects from past modules. I spent some time considering each one and evaluating the different aspects of the individual projects that have brought me to this point within my own practice. I I asked myself, 'What elements might I expand upon within my final project or be sufficiently inspired by to research further?'
Review of previous work
Contemporary practice: the self -This was a pivotal week for me, in really starting to see for myself what influenced me; from my values, personality and interests and how we are unconsciously influenced by them. I have always been fascinated with psychology, even though I don't fully understand it. I really enjoyed the self discovery that the week offered, as well as the design outcome. The main themes that I could take from this week are:
Individuality - How can graphic design showcase people's individual personalities? How can I put my own personality and interests into a self initiated project?
Week 6: Noticing the Ignored - This was probably my favourite week out of the whole course. From the research to the exploration of my location, to developing the final outcome. It was really nice to meet people and hear about the village's extensive history. My favourite element of my final outcome from week 6 is the storytelling element. The main themes that I could take for this week are:
Local History / Local Voices - 'How can we get people to appreciate local history?' Listening to local residents share their accounts and recollections in their own voices and also seeing the archives and artefacts.
Exploration - Exploring brings so many ideas and chance for discovery. 'What is it about exploring that sparks creativity and adventure?'
There have been many projects throughout the course that focus on typography. From contemporary practice type and page, history and futures story told to my self initiated project in applications and interactions. I really enjoy learning about typography, it seems there's always something new to learn from the subject. Though I never really think it's one of my strong suits I have enjoyed each week that it has been covered. There are so many ways type can be used to communicate something to the viewer.
Typography - How can Type be used to communicate a message? What are the underlying notions and meanings behind the choice type and the way it is set out?
Applications and interactions: self initiated project - this was a particularly fun project for me and the exploration of the location was something that I found particularly interesting. I took into consideration what I had learnt through the course and used it to develop my own brief. I wanted it to be a project that I could be proud of. It took a more community-based approach and I used design in a way that would benefit the community and local workers.
How can design be used to benefit users?
How can we communicate a message through the visual elements as well as the users experience?
History and Futures: Design and Critique - In a similar vein to my self-initiated project, this focused on locality and uncovering a story of heritage and origins with a local area. I really loved this project right through from the research and development to the design. The story telling was the main theme of this project and bringing the character of the Straw Bear to life through the design.
Storytelling - 'How can we best communicate stories from our local history?', 'What are the stories that need to be told?', 'What can the recipients of these stories gain from listening to them?'
What is my research question?
I still haven't found a question I have wanted to answer, probably as I'm overthinking it too much again. I decided that simply getting words on paper was the best bet. I wrote out topics that I am interested in to see what stood out to me most and how I might form a project question from different topics.
To be honest I found it difficult to develop questions. I considered many different topics but have been unable to form any sort of question to ask. Though to develop my potential research questions I considered my interests and the potential scope of the project. These questions will hopefully lead me to new insights and perspectives with, potentially, the opportunity to have an impact on people. I tried my best not to focus on design outcome or really consider what the design of the project would be but focus on the subject of the question as one that is interesting to me.
With a decline in religious belief across the UK, what is it that many people now believe in within modern society? - Religion has always been a fascinating topic to me. I wouldn't say I have religious beliefs myself; I'm more interested in the different interpretations of religious scripture and people’s own individual beliefs. Why is it that some people believe in the existence of a deity so fiercely without proof of existence? What is the essence of belief? Why do individuals enact their beliefs differently from others of the same religious background? Belief isn't simply a religious term, and with fewer people identifying as having religious beliefs across the UK, what do people believe in? What has replaced religion as a guiding principle in people’s lives.
How could a sense of place be created within my locality? - This is a broad topic and could yield my potential outcomes. It has also been of great interest to me throughout the entirety of my MA studies.
How can the spoken language be conveyed within a written format? because spoken language can convey a lot of emotion and feeling. We may interpret the same phrase in different ways. Is there a difference in the way we hear vocabulary or phrasing to the way we read it? With a lot of communication now transmitted through digital means, is there a way in which we can unequivocally communicate our intended messages and emotions through these written forms?
Does a greater awareness of mental health have a positive or negative influence? - Is it over diagnosed or misdiagnosed? How is it influenced by the available or lack of resources?
Benefits of nature.
Misinformation from social media.
Week 2
Lecture notes
For the first phase of the project there have been lectures and case studies that we are encouraged to watch and reflect upon to help us to find a focus with our own individual projects. I spent this second week by watching the lectures and case studies.
The questions that I needed to consider in developing my project are:
What is my research question?
How might I...?
Who is this for?
Following on from the initial confusion of last week I gathered some feedback on my overall thoughts and previously written topics. I have ultimately decided to follow the idea of creating a sense of place, as this is another topic that has been of interest to me throughout the course of my MA studies.
With my finalised research question being How might a sense of place and connection be created with the landscape of Peterborough? I then needed to consider how might I achieve this? and who is this project for?
I have absolutely no idea how I will achieve this at the moment. I think a lot more research needs to be done before I can answer this question. Who is it for? well, it's for local residents of the city.
Week 3
With my project focus more in mind I began doing some research in the chosen area, to help refine my research question to something a little less broad. I started out by asking myself the following questions 'What is Peterborough known for?', 'What are the unique factors about the location?'
Brickworks & Pottery
The brickworks are a particularly interesting topic to me as these have been the starting block for my interest in ceramics and the versatility of clay. I think it would be really fascinating to see the process of brick making and understand the history of the areas and to understand the significance of the local Oxford clay that they use at London Brick. Brickworks were a huge industry in the area and really helped with economic growth in the area. I know of sites all across Peterborough that are now nature reserves, but the most prominent operational site is Kings Dyke, home to the London Brick.
James Craig McCallum bought Fletton Lodge at auction and began a small brick works on the land, finding the lower Oxford clay unique in that it could be burnt, making it perfect for firing in the kilns. Known locally as Fletton Brick the name London Brick came from the distribution of bricks to London on the main trainlines. The bricks were in high demand during the various housing booms and are now mostly used for residential and home improvement markets. Tt is estimated that they make up almost 25% of England's housing.
Forterra brickworks is one of London Bricks (Fletton Bricks) original sites that opened in June 1969 and is now the only operational brickworks producing London bricks. The site consists of four industrial kilns and three chimneys and is the largest site in Europe, producing 5 million bricks a week.
There are 4 sets of kilns on the site, each capable of firing 1.25 million bricks. Firing takes10 days from entering the kiln to being removed as a finished brick. Temperatures in the kiln reach 1050 degrees centigrade.
Brick making process
A machine built in 1926 called the Shale Planer cuts into the 30m high faces of the site and then the clay is moved via giant buckets. Talking to my parents they remember the buckets moving clay over wire systems above the streets from different brick pits around the city into the late 1970s.
The buckets moved on the conveyer belt to the next point in the process. The conveyor belt at Kings Dyke is roughly 3km in length.
The clay is then ground down into smaller more manageable pieces. This takes place in the pan shed.
The clay is then pressed into shape in the pressing shed and set aside in the green brick store ready for firing.
The four kilns at Kings Dyke fire ten times a day.
The finished bricks are then strapped together in the monorail strapping shed and stored in the stockyard.
I haven't been able to get any decent images of the site as it is fully gated, obviously, and there isn't a way of getting anywhere near it without permission, which I wasn't able to achieve. Google maps gave a very different view as I hadn't realised the size of the site from passing it from the roadside, it is genuinely huge!
I managed to find an old map of the brick pits around Peterborough. The Kings Dyke (to the right of the image) shows the only current working site and the size of the site in comparison to the others. The site is actually made up of all the smaller pits as the Saxon works are part of the site as well. Some former sites have been repurposed as nature reserves, these generate a strong interest from archaeologists and some have had Jurassic marine animals excavated from them. Other sites have been filled in, so I wonder why only Kings Dyke is still in use.
I spent some time searching for old maps trying to find a side by side comparison from when the pits were in use to how they are today. And it can be seen in these images how they have all been filled and developed over time to public spaces.
Oxford Clay Formation - Mudstone. Sedimentary bedrock formed between 166.1 and 157.3 million years ago during the Jurassic period.
Palaeontology
Due to the nature of the land, there have been many significant archaeological and paleontological finds. I spoke with my friend who works in the field of palaeontology and he has participated in many digs and excavations all around the surrounding city areas. He has mentioned how exciting it is that the geology of the area has preserved fossils and bone extremely well. I took a quick look into the geology of the area to gain a bit more understanding and found that I really didn't understand the terminology. Essentially, the landscape was formed a very long time ago and was below sea level. When the land was drained it compacted and exposed the clay which is significant for palaeontology as it has preserved many Jurassic finds, the most significant being 'Eve', the 165 million year old plesiosaurus, who was found at part of the original excavation site of Kings Dyke and has since been donated to the Natural History Museum.
'Within the low-lying area, there are slightly raised 'islands' which consist of drift deposits capping low rises formed of Upper Jurassic clays. The 'uplands' in the south-west, which embrace the area of urban Peterborough, consist of Middle Jurassic rocks.'
Nature Reserves
The Fens
The landscape of my local area could be considered manmade. Until the mid 17th century Peterborough and its surrounding areas were all wetlands and watery marshes with a few areas of land which were considered islands. During his reign, King Charles I, in a drive to improve and extend agricultural land, employed Dutch designer Cornelius Vermuyden to aid in designing the sluice system which drained the fens of water and kept the tides out. These systems are still in place today. Sharp spades called 'hodding spades' were used to dig the channels and dykes. Not everyone bought into Charles 1's vision; local people were opposed to the drainage of the fens as they believed it would take away their livelihoods because they used the marshy land to gather reeds, hunt wildfowl and fish. A group of people, known as the 'Fen Tigers' orchestrated attempts to tear down the efforts to create the dyke system in order to maintain their livelihoods, however they were clearly unsuccessful.
Agriculture in the fens
Farming in the the area has been a fundamental contributor to the economy of the city. It was the nutrient rich soil, perfect for farming, that had led to the fens being drained of water hundreds of years ago. It now plays a large role in the economy, supporting business involved in food production as well as rural tourism and education through tourist-friendly farms such as Sacrewell Farm.
We always consider the negative effects that farming has on the environment but in the UK, 'farming practices are some of the most environmentally friendly and sustainable in the world' and 'more than 670,000 acres, or 70% of land in the Fens, is managed under environmental stewardship schemes.' Dykes and hedgerows provide habitats for wildlife, even protected species such as the Water Vole and Great Crested Newt. https://www.eastofengland.org.uk/
During the First World War, British farming fed the nation.
Peterborough was established because of the market where local producers sold their crops.
Essentially the city wouldn't be what it is today without its agricultural heritage.
Some local farm research:
Burgess Farms - A family business that has been established since 1898, specialising now in the growth of organic root vegetables. The farm has expanded somewhat since its beginnings, by collaborating and partnering with other farms. The current farmers are the fourth generation farm owners. They grow a wide range of produce with expertise in growing potatoes, carrots, parsnips, beetroot, turnips, onions, leeks & garlic. Like many other farms in the area they try to work as sustainably as they can and care about maintaining soil health.
Hill Farm - Established for over 45 years, Hill's Farm is another family-owned business with traditional beginnings, growing wheat, sugar beet, barley and, more recently, introducing cattle. It has expanded its crop portfolio and diversified to include a wider range of fruits and vegetables introducing sweetcorn, raspberries, spinach, marrow, plums, leek, onion, gooseberries, redcurrants and more. They also have a 'Natural England scheme in place that protects the hedgerows and watercourses, preserves natural grassland, and provides wild bird feeding areas.' https://www.hillfarmpyo.co.uk/
Lutton Farm - Established in 1960, Lutton Farm is a family-run fruit farm producing strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. They are environmentally friendly, providing habitat for wildlife with ancient hedgerows. beetle banks and ponds, as well as using insects to protect crops instead of chemical pesticides.
Meremouth Farm - Another family-owned farm, predominantly livestock farming of both cattle and pigs. They also sell direct to the public offering a mix of joints, mince, steaks, sausages all year round, alongside free range eggs. During the winter/Christmas season turkeys are available to purchase.
Farcet Farms - Farcet farms are a commercial farm operating across three farm sites located in the area. They currently grow onions, sugar beet and cereal crops.
New Town
Peterborough was declared a new town in 1967. Reinventing itself from a small market town, much of the old city was demolished to make way for new developments. Within a few months of gaining the new town status the Peterborough Development Corporation was founded. As part of the expansion programme put in place by the Corporation to resolve the housing and unemployment problems in the city, they also made a few changes to the cultural design of the city to attract tourism as well. Many new developments were established during this time, notably Bretton and Orton housing estates, Queensgate Shopping Centre and the parkway road network. Following the announcement of Peterborough's status as a new town, the population grew and it became a popular location for commuters, particularly to London, with many new brutalist structures being built to accommodate the rapid rise in population. Commuting is a major part of Peterborough's culture, being directly linked to the A1 and being connected through a major train line. There are many people that commute from the city to London and Cambridge,
Peterborough was originally an Anglo Saxon settlement and through my research I stumbled across the Peterborough chronicles, which was a hand scribed document maintained by the monks at what was Peterborough Abbey, as an attempt to record the history of Britain although it isn't seen as 'professional history'. The document no longer resides in Peterborough.
During the Middle Ages streets were constructed around the cathedral which are still in place today (the Town Square/ City Centre). The main local industry at the time was weaving wool. Many new structures were being built and the city was growing, holding annual fairs which attracted audiences and businesses from afar. Peterborough officially became a city in 1541 when the Abbey was designated a Cathedral. At the time, the city was the smallest in England, however it grew rapidly during the 18th century and, in the 19th century, many new industries were being introduced. The 20th century brought more industry, extending beyond agriculture to transport and engineering.
Questionnaire
I put together a questionnaire to gauge people's feelings about the area, seeing if this would spark some inspiration in the initial stages of my project development. I asked a number of people the following questions:
What emotions do you associate with the city?
Do you like living here?
Have you considered leaving the city to live elsewhere?
What is the strongest reason for living in the city?
What would you recommend to visitors to the city?
I came across this video which I thought was quite funny probably because I can definitely understand it. I think everyone that lives here has the same view.
Historically, Peterborough had a booming engineering industry, with industry giants such as Perkins Engines, Baker Perkins, Brotherhoods Engineering alongside the railway, dominating the economic and employment landscape for many years. Another area where Peterborough had a leading role was in the arena of publishing and print. EMAP (East Midlands Allied Press) was a dominant media company in the UK for many years. It began in 1887 when Sir Richard Winfrey purchased Spalding Guardian before going on to purchase a wide range of local papers. EMAP began as a way to use the printing presses that he had available and idle. The first magazines produced were pursuit titles, Angling Times, Trout and Salmon, Garden News and the purchase of MCN (Motor Cycle News) was agreed in 1953, all of these flagship magazines are still running today in the consumer magazine group, although now part of the Bauer Media Group.
Train lines
Peterborough railway station is a large interchange serving both the north and south east coast mainlines. Its most notable easily reached destinations are London and Cambridge which, in turn, has brought many commuters to live in the area.
East Midlands Allied Press - The production of The Evening Telegraph
Visual aspects of the city - Sculpture Trail
Many sculptures have been commissioned and distributed throughout the city. The sculptures represent the architecture and history of Peterborough, involving artists such as Anthony Gormley, Anthony Caro and Sokari Douglas Camp. The aim of the project was to celebrate culture within the city and provide a reference of the time for future generations.
The most relevant sculptures to today's culture are those created by Antony Gormley, a popular British artist, well known for his Angel of the North structure. His work explores the connections between the human body, nature and the space around us. The three sculptures commissioned for Peterborough, called 'Places to be' were originally located near the rowing lake near Nene Park. However they were vandalised in 2006 and taken down to be restored. They are made up of sheet lead over fiberglass. They were then placed on the rooftops in the Cathedral Square just before the global pandemic struck, as a way to explore the city's architecture and different periods of Peterborough's design, from the 18th century Victorian corners roof, to the brutalist design of the Queensgate shopping centre. It encouraged people to 'Look up', to embrace the city's design that is passed by so frequently. The city's skyline is made up of many different design steps and influences and this project celebrates them all.
Late industrial revolution - Industrial Engineering Design
The growth of industry and engineering manufacturing in the late 1800s and early 1900s brought with it the construction of much industrial architecture. The trainline running through the heart of Peterborough as well as the River Nene waterway meant there were many crossing and bridge developments. During the growth of industry came the replacement of many of the wooden and brick built structures that predated them. The production of cast iron meant people were able to construct in a whole new way and, although industry brought economic prosperity, the design of many structures were for function and strength not aesthetic appeal. The Nene Viaduct is an example of this, built in 1850 by Lewis Cubbitt, the bridge is made of cast iron and white brick. Another example is the Crescent Bridge which was completed pre-First World War in July 1913, which also showcases the engineering industry that has long been part of the city's history. The structural layout of both were purpose built for the train track. In my opinion, both of these bridges, though not as prominent in the city landscape nowadays, are a huge part of our design culture as they represent a point in our history where industry boomed and their purpose built nature is still relevant to today as having a strong rail connection to other cities is one of Peterborough's main attributes.

Week 4
Following all my research I finally began writing up my project proposal. This being the first draft, it will likely evolve and change as the project progresses.
Project Proposal Draft.
How might a sense of place and connection be created with the landscape of Peterborough, from revealing its unique history and biodiversity?
History and Theory
As humans, we look for connection, a sense of belonging, it is a fundamental of human nature. However, it is questioned whether we are losing that connection as, through technological advancements and growth of social media people are spending less and less time outdoors. The UK government stated that people spend 80-90% of their time indoors, which is a concerning figure as there is an overwhelming amount of research to indicate that the disconnection that modern society has to nature is linked to both mental and physical illnesses. So how might we re-establish this connection to nature in my local area? This would start with establishing and understanding of the landscape.
The landscape of my local area can be considered manmade. Prior to the 18th century Peterborough and its surrounding areas were all wetlands and watery marshes, with few areas of land which were considered islands at the time. Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden was instrumental in introducing techniques already used in the Netherlands to reclaim land by draining marshland and controlling water ingress, which enabled the expansion of agricultural land. The draining of the fens had a significant impact on the geology of the area, with the most impact gained from the exposure of the upper Jurassic marine clays, which includes oxford clay. The majority of Peterborough’s parks and nature reserves are developed from old brick pit quarries. Brick making is a significant industry in Peterborough’s history and economic growth, and now, as nature reserves, has brought a wealth of biodiversity to the area, including a number of rare and protected species.
The London Brick Company was founded in the area and remains operational. It works alongside one of the nature reserves at ‘Kings Dyke’ where 1138 different species of wildlife have been recorded in just 24 hours. Though Kings Dyke in maintained and already an educational space, many of these brick pits are undervalued, so how can we connect more with these spaces and develop an understanding of what we have on our doorstep?
Aims and Objectives
My aims for the project are to:
To reconnect people with nature and the unique biodiversity found in the area by encouraging playful and educational exploration of the local landscape.
To share the story/record of how the landscape came to be through its history and impact it had on the area’s economic growth.
My Objectives are to:
Create something that helps people to develop a connection to their locality or know the place they live better.
To encourage people to immerse themselves in nature and get outside more.
Take more pride in the area and look after their surroundings.
Target Audience
Currently the target audience is people that live in Peterborough. I do believe the project can be aimed at any age group at the moment. Though I believe it is more suited to a younger audience with education in mind. However, through further primary and secondary research this may be narrowed down to a more specific age group.

As well as the range of biodiversity (wildlife, plants, geography of the area and the palaeontological significance), alongside visiting local museums.
Other areas of research include - human connection with nature and its impact on wellbeing.
Community design and sense of belonging.
Primary – I plan to undertake my own ethnographic, observational study by visiting different sites and speaking with local people.
As well as conducting focus groups within my local community to best understand local knowledge and ask opinions and views around the subject topic.
I have been given a few contacts within the brick companies that I could request interviews with to gain different views and voices within the project. (Hopefully I will be able to visit the working site before the next site tour in April)
I also have a few contacts within education where I could potentially run focus groups, exploring an educational approach to the project. (This I think is dependent on my initial stages of research in narrowing my target audience)

Phase 1 Reflection
Having written up my project proposal I am feeling a bit more confident with the direction of the project now, However I still think there is a lot more research that needs to be done in order to fully grasp what it is I am trying to achieve with this project. Hopefully I will be able to gain a bit more clarity on the next steps of the project in my proposal feedback session with Dan, as I am still unsure on the overall scope of the project.
