Landscape rehabilitation, along with the stitching/linking of several layers on the site, will integrate the site into its context, while creating new opportunities. Furthermore, how the development of refuse disposal brownfield sites can benefit local communities and ecologies. Reclamation and remediation based design principles are used to propose the remediation of contaminated soils, wetlands and landscapes.
This thesis aims to challenge the contemporary perceptions of refuse disposal landfill sites, transforming the site from a hidden, inaccessible open public land, into an integrated, rehabilitative, multi-use and accessible site – with value to ecology, economy and culture. Ultimately questioning how architecture plays a role in the abovementioned, connecting ecology and culture.
