Archiving the Coal Industry

A design investigation into the spatial, material, and cultural residue of the coal industry in Northern England. The work explores how industrial landscapes are erased, rebranded, or abandoned, and how architecture can act as an archival tool—recording, interpreting, and exposing sites at risk of historical amnesia.

Through visual mappings, model-making, and spatial overlays, the project reconstructs lost narratives and asks how we remember through design.
