Gorey Castle comes under 'digital attack'

Gorey Castle comes under 'digital attack'
Evan Grant brings building to life.

Ultra-bright video is projected on to the walls of a 13th Centrury Gorey Castle.  3D projection mapping was used to made polychrome blocks appear to slide out of the fortifications and the structure twist and collapse against the night sky.

Amazing, just click on the link and watch the video.

Greenwich Park; its history, conservation and management

The exhibition charts the Park's development from medieval deer park to a grand landscape garden in the French classical tradition under Charles II, and its subsequent evolution, over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, into one of London's great public parks.

It underlines the historic and cultural importance of this continuously evolving multilayered landscape, concluding with an assessment of its current condition and the selection of the Park as the venue for Olympic events in 2012.  The Olympics present an opportunity to showcase Greenwich Park to the world, while ensuring that its historic and natural fabric are protected.  The spotlight on the Park also presents an opportunity to consider ideas for improving the Park for future generations of users, while conserving its unique character and sense of place.

This exhibition has beeen researched and produced by final year Ba Garden Design students at Greenwich University, studying Historic Garden Conservation as part of their degree course.

Sketches of Farindons


The front view of Farindons has been rendered and painted white and has blue windows and shutters.  The side entrance you can still see the brick work under the white paint and it also has blue window frames but no shutters. There is a clock above the door.
