Location

I had already decided that I wanted my temporary gallery structure to be in a natural environment, because a lot of the art work is made from organic materials so would be appropriate in a natural setting. The exhibition is about time passing, and the fragility of life, so I don't think the exhibition would suit being in a 'concrete' environment, because that has a feeling of permanence which would contradict my theme. Therefore I have decided I want my fantasy gallery to be located in a park.

Firstly I started looking locally and around Birmingham for the ideal park for this, but they were all either too small, too many trees or not flat enough ground for my gallery to be built on, and I wanted to choose a patch of land that was appropriate and where this could be theoretically built.

I then began looking at London parks and decided that Hyde Park had the best spot for my gallery. Below is a map of Hyde Park, and the small square towards the bottom of the park represents my gallery. I have kept this to scale so it would be exactly this size in proportion to the park if it were to be built. I have also included a close-up satellite image of the gallery's location so you can see it more clearly. I chose that particular spot in the park because it is completely flat, and quite easy to get to because it's between a path and a main road.
