National HEDGE
The National Hedge proposal re-imagines the iconic British hedgerow as a flexible,
nationwide ecological-infrastructure regime. Deployed as a continuous,
horizontally-thickened hedge complex (green lanes) in the right-of-ways
and easements of existing and future electricity grid corridors, National HEDGE
represents an integrated, progressive reinterpretation of a culturally
significant system of territorialization capable of supporting
substantial ecological expansion as well as offering a contemporary and
iconic image of infrastructural integration into the landscape of the
UK.
The intent of this approach is two-fold. The first objective is to
integrate the electricity grid into the varied landscapes of the UK, not
through formal exuberance or aesthetic mitigation, but through the
compositing of seemingly oppositional landscape systems to create new,
hybrid forms of urbanization. The second aspect is the reestablishment
of a nationwide ecological regime that stitches together and reconnects
the fragmented, eroding natural habitats of the UK countryside by
linking established infrastructure easements and right of ways to the
country’s most significant areas of natural preserve — the UK’s 15
National Parks.
