 Cumbria 2006 The Etheric BoathouseBrantwood, CumbriaThe Brantwood Trust, on Coniston Water in Cumbria, is currently reconstructing John Ruskin’s lakeside boathouse, thereby completing the harbour project that so preoccupied the writer and critic in the late 1870s.
In parallel with this renovation project Ewan Forster & Christopher Heighes have been commissioned to devise a separate construction that will illuminate the complexity of thought that underpinned Ruskin’s ‘domestic’ projects and reconnect a contemporary public with his artistic, educational and economic radicalism.
