Aspirations
' The source of inspiration for this project came from the Dresser teapot we saw at Youlgreave. We were all struck by the purity and strength of the forms that characterise the work. Dresser's forward thinking approach to design sets the precedent that we felt could be continued throughout the scheme. It is the spirit of excellence and innovation that we hope to capture. Out aspirations are to create a garden that people will want to re-visit. The soft and hard landscape will create colour and texture that will change to reflect the passing seasons inviting both exploration and use. The garden should reflect and celebrate the strong craft and industrial history of the City. As water has powered the tools of manufacture we feel that it should feature extensively throughout the site. We envisage a "ribbon" of water visiting all areas, forming pools and cascading walls of water. The careful and imaginative use of stone, wood, metal and clay will create horizontal and vertical features that will interact with paving and the soft landscape. '
