Beatrix Potter 
School of Botany
Magan Smith


                   

I have gained much knowledge at my time at Lancaster University and it has been enjoyable to see my personal development and how my learnings have changed my perception on projects. I am currently seeking a Part 1 Placement within the West Midlands, to be able to work and transform the area which I grew up in. 

This project has been inspired by the works of Beatrix Potter and her illustrations of the nature that is in Windermere. Her work showed what possibilities the local plants can provide in bettering the health of people. Windermere has faced problems with incorrect prescriptions, using traditional medicine roots, the idea of the School of Botany was formed. The form has derived from the idea of walking through woods with the compression and increase of lighting levels.
