As well as being actively involved in the repopulation of flora, the building also helps to reduce the remaining radiation levels as the neighbouring area is demolished and then emptied. The project focuses on devising a piece of architecture that choreographs seed release using a controlled deterioration of paper over time. This process is carefully prepared at specific points throughout the construction; various laminations of paper elements and their individual corrosion properties are used to dictate the exact timespans of release phases for different seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In consideration of its longevity, the building tackles a wide range of spaces necessary for seed preservation; these cater to the different seeds\u2019 requirements, including their lifespans or need for separation from the main structure. The use of paper is treated as a delicate counterpoint to the heaviness of the power station and the harshness of the Dungeness climate; it is supported by either a light framework or the rigid, resistant element of the permanent seed storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:66.67% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/751209521?h=7a29b44ed9&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"BEATRICE FRANT - Scattered Potential\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The Animated Story of the Dungeness Seed Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film uses different animation techniques to capture the building processes\u2013from the construction and decommissioning to the creation of a post-apocalyptic wildflower meadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-250x177.jpg 250w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_01-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>Proposal Choreography<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustrations focus on showing the fragility of different sections and the lifespan requirements for a series of spaces, playing on the importance of momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-1024x463.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-1024x463.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-250x113.jpg 250w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-768x347.jpg 768w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-1536x694.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Bartlett_2021_BSc_UG21_Beatrice_Frant_Image_02-2048x925.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>The Seed Bank in Context<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overlooking the proposal next to the Dungeness Power Station.
