This thesis investigates the processes evident within the dune-scape’s coastal conditions, highlighting the importance of revealing the invisible. 

The intervention creates insight to the ‘hidden’ processes and histories that lie beneath Bamburgh’s cascading dunes. Through analysis of place and processes of archaeology and geography, the proposal questions the effect of the Anthropocene on our landscape’s edges, and proposes a ‘belt transect’ in order to measure and bring about awareness to the effects through the archiving of curios found in the dune. The scheme provides a place to view, experience, measure and analyse the landscape sustainably, providing education and joy of nature, whilst defending its legacy for the future.
