Y Gors
Y Gors takes place in Monmouth, Wales. We are working with a lost site in the center of the city, this site used to be a grazing ground, a site for sports, circus, temporary traveller housing and more. In the last decade, the site has been sitting unused, fenced off and overgrown despite the need for more housing in the area. This site is a flood plane, and drops drastically from the elevation of the main town, entirely disconnecting unhoused communities from the rest of the town.
We are vertically connecting this lost site with the sub-terranian belly of the city, providing more housing opportunities for the unhoused community curretly residing in this urban underbelly. Subsequently by elevating the site, we are supporting the ecology of the site as a flood plane.
