Studio two spent a year of study in the Upper Towey Valley around Llyn Brianne dam and reservoir, which stem from the river Tywi near Carmarthen. The semester one housing project was sited in Cilycwm - a small community just downstream from the reservoir, where more homes are needed but without compromising the character of the village.

During semester two, students developed a funerary chapel as an architectural response to the countryside as a space of volatile transformation and contradictory visions… from Woodstock to the Blair Witch Project, to farming with drones and self-driving tractors to the vast and interconnected infrastructural flows of resources that allow cities to function. Through this understanding of landscape we considered the ritual and processes of death and its connection to the surroundings - from woodland burial grounds, resomation, and promession to open air funeral pyres.
