In the study of artistic expression, I use videos and poetic stories to describe.The location we choose is Margaret’s Turner Contemporary.
And I searched some histories of Margate and found some interseting information about it.It is said that the north of Margate is the river and the south of Margate is the hill.
At the beginning of development, Margate was always full of energy, just like a teenager. They are always so energetic, always so positive forward, as if they will never be depressed.
The pier was built in 1855 and destroyed by the storm in 1968. Just as the Victorian wharf was destroyed, Margate’s economy began to decline in the 1960s. The mix combusted 56 years ago on the Bank Holiday weekend of May 18 and 19 when thousands of Mods and Rockers flocked to Brighton, Margate, Clacton, Southend and Hastings.
At present, reviving the old town as a distintive arts and cultural quarter, and using the intimate scale of histortic buildings as an attration for new businesses, could once again allow the heart of the Margate.
The future of margate can be explained by understanding the past and present. The future of Margate is represented through an space for architectural design. The future envisioned Margate pier is designed and a story of the future is told. This direction of research was chosen suitable to my architecture design skills.
After that, our group decided to use margate story to do the project and it seperated into 3 parts .
