Wordsworth Grasmere

摘要

THE WORK of English Romantic poet William Wordsworth is imbued with the landscapes of the Lake District: those of his childhood in Cockermouth and a later period living at Dove Cottage in Grasmere with his sister Dorothy. The Wordsworth Grasmere, the museum centred around their former home, has been redesigned by Nissen Richards, working with architects Purcell, on a scheme that is equally filled with his words. Not only are his manuscripts abundantly present across the site, but his words become a texture of the museum: carved into paving underfoot; lit up on walls; and filling the air through sound design by Carolyn Downing.
