Concept
In our mundane everyday life there is always a need
for a little 'magic;. Thus the provision of a 'magic' space has become the
objective of this proposal. Landmark East should not just act as a visual sign,
or even educate or recreate. It should be a source of inspiration and
motivation for the people of East England. It should have a profound impact on
its visitors and affect the way they deal with their lives. It should be
grandiose and impressive, yet humane and evasive. Its state of the art
technology should simply disappear in the natural environment, demonstrating
the 'magic' of modern science.
Objectives
The most evident objective of the proposal is to
provide with a visual sign of East England, a 'trademark'. It should also
inform about East England and educate. However this is not enough. It should be
a space that people can 'inhabit', feel that it belongs to them and be proud of
it.
Theme
What better way to bring out the 'magic' than a
fairytale.
