personality of the site created in the same way as our personality
formed by the abnormal history and interventions of the previous owner the eccentric Mr. Lyttle on the one side and the image the observer has, informed by the siteís appearance, information through media and contact to the previous owner, disturbances, stories, myths, interpretations...
fascinating / disgusting / disturbing / instable
location of degeneration within a usual London housing area
fence as protection barrier to keep unwanted out, to avoid any danger to public and to ease the image / situation for the neighbours
enclosed by a continuous surrounding patchwork fence with some holes in places - a protective additional skin
holes / gaps in the fence as visible connections to the other side
holes / gaps tempting the passers by to peer through and get a glimpse
play with fascination
instead of polishing up - and integration into the surrounding, deconstruction - revealing, antisocial character
