MONUMENT TO ROBERT HOOKE

Designed with landscape architects Landscape Town & Country for Milton Keynes Development Corporation, the conical shelter forms the hub of a children's play area. Local historian Monica Mears produced a text consisting of snippets of information about the man (Including contemporary illustrations & diary extracts).
The one off shelter was liberally coated with Braille/ Photo- etched plagues along with a granite floor based on Monica's work.
