Abstract
The past decade has been witness to a resurgence of interest in ecologically sustainable thinking about the design and management of reclaimed, post-industrial landscapes.
As a result, landscapes that were not previously considered fit for habitation, are now being rehabilitated and redeveloped for new uses.
This project engages in a discourse about thoughts on landscape, and
investigates techniques to the task of transforming out dated and disused post-extraction landscapes through design.
