“Man made & Nature” Space Documentation- Cabot Circus & Royal Victoria Park

ⅰ. Man made

Below was a visual documentation at Bristol’s biggest shopping mall- Cabot Circus on the 23rd February 2010 from 12.30pm- 4.00pm. This piece shows a lot of interesting happenings there. When we are aware more of the things around us, the ordinary can truly be special.

I have two versions of the Cabot Circus project, one is printed version and the other is an interactive media version. The printed version is about 1000 mm long.

I'm very happy and satisfied with the printing quality,

especially the colour.

ⅱ. Nature

Below was a visual documentation at the Royal Victoria Park, Bath on the 1^st of April 2010 from 3.00pm- 5.00pm. Inhale a calm but deep breath, be at ease, relaxed and immerse yourself into such a beautiful backdrop. Take the time to perceive the charisma of nature that sips by us. 

Same with the Man made version above, the printed version is about 1000 mm long.

Final Outcome

This project is about space documentation on the manmade and nature space base on my Self-directed Study title-"moment". 

It is relevant to me because I believe every different space has different feelings or impacts towards anyone. If we take the time to pay more attention to certain things, we actually can notice something more interesting or something special or perhaps more eventful than we think. Through the documentation, I found my own feelings towards the space, the relation and communication it represents. Thus, the aim for this project is to create a link between the space and the audience. I want to let them more aware of what is happening around them. 

The man made space that I’ve picked is Cabot Circus while the nature space that I’ve pick is the Royal Victoria park in Bath. The reasons I’ve chosen Cabot Circus as one of my spaces because it is the busiest shopping mall in Bristol while I’ve chosen the Royal Victoria Park in Bath is because the scenery there is really beautiful, calm and peaceful.

I decided these two locations to be very contrasting so that I can compare the two and see the differences.
