The relationship between people and nature is essential, one of interdependency. However, the environment continues to be used, manipulated and destroyed in favour of people. Design plays a part in this as cities expand and urban development disrupts natural forests. Throughout working on the Reuse platform at the RCA, it has been Hannah's aim to explore the way in which the balance could be regained; using design to create a space that gives nature the same importance as people. The site of 'The Ruin' - Nettleham Hall, Lincoln - encouraged this exploration. After burning down and becoming derelict, the nature began to grow in abundance and surround the building. Hannah saw this as an illustration of the trees reclaiming their space and fighting against the disruption we inflict on nature, moreover establishing the stance for her work moving forward.
