A plan has been outlined that looks at creating local crops and industries that can support the transition plan for the town. Managed forests line the arrival railway and roads where the harvested timber is used to renovate and construct new buildings. Coppicing fields provide the town with thatch. Hemp is planted and has created a small textile and Hemp-crete industry for the town.
Through the use of a sort of spider diagram I have explored future needs and the associated organs the town would require to become more resilient and self sufficient. These new organs allow the town to strive toward Island living. They include infrastructural and cultural options and are marked by a yellow flag on the diagram below. Ideas for a final proposal have been born from this exploration into the carnival nature of the town and its need to become more resilient in terms of energy, food and transport.
A model was created that celebrates the new location of organs around the town with flags and connective bunting.
