This weeks lecture was on Abandonment. In it we looked at the effect that nature can have on man-made structures in short time spans, such as 5 or less years. To display this Russell showed us the effects of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans, Kolmanskop in Namibia (and the effects of sand) and Prypiat, Ukraine (and what a city would look like after nuclear waste exposure). As well we looked at images from artists impressions of the world after humans.
These examples help to visualise the first steps in the deterioration of buildings after a few short years from weather, and then what it would look like after nature takes back its hold. This will help me with the Rudin House as it is of basic materials and in a very soft landscape with mostly grass surrounding it.
