Horizons Are Important

'Standing, for the second time in my life, on the platform of Edale train station in the heart of the Peak District, I hoped that walking all the way to Scotland might make me a Walking Artist.'

An exploration into the creation of a network of Howffs in rural North-East Scotland

Exploration Aids (2015-2019), a project by Tim Knowles, explored the creation of a network of Howffs in rural North-East Scotland.  His project’s publication addresses the hurdles of access and land use whilst providing alternative ideas and solutions in the form of specially designed Howffs (temporary shelters) for specific locations in the Scottish landscape.  Alongside text written by Knowles, are essays by Tim Ingold and Claudia Zeiske addressing the notion of shelters and the right to roam. 

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
