![The work is partially “about ways to use and understand a site”. Therefore the interventions are meant to be intimate and at a human scale to ensure an understanding between plan view and the walkers perspective. Challenged with trying to visualise walking through these thresholds; “because walks unfold in linear time as a moving from place to place, image series [were] as an effective means of representing origin, destination, and station; approach encounter, and departure, sequence and rhythm” as Alice Foxley’s (former head of research at Günther Vogt’s office) Distance & Engagement suggests. More so, Richard Long’s 1980 Five, Six, Pick-up sticks, Seven, Eight, Lay them straight, expresses a walk’s ability to marcate history onto the land. And with the use of structures, such as a boardwalk, steps, and viewing platforms – for nature observation and contemplation that is equally powerful in its intimacy as in its expansiveness and drama. These are the integral design theories in which I base my exploration in the North Norfolk Coast. I hope to communicate geology, geography, ecology, time, and distance into a “good work” as Richard Long puts again, as the “right thing in the right place at the right time.” A crossing place, I interpret the thresholds and the passage itself just as I would the drawing on the page.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2kj15GqBv1qdm4t4o1_1280.jpg)
