Disembodied perspective - looking up through the reforestation canopy
Project statement01

RE:SCAPE transforms the site analysis of Wreck Beach into a proposal for participatory remediation. The design introduces three key interventions: a reforestation pathway that stabilizes the slope through native planting, repopulation gardens that use garden pockets to host plant propagation workshops, and mosaic walls that serve as community art while managing recycled waste. The project creates a feedback loop between removal and revitalization, inviting visitors to engage directly with the shoreline's ecological recovery.

Analysis02

Stakeholders and waste mapping

Mapping the cycle of removal and revitalization through a stakeholder diagram and site plan of waste mapping and removal sites.

Pathway03

Reforestation and slope stability

A site plan and axonometric study of the proposed programming: motorized boating, beach fires, and foot traffic are redirected through native edible gardens and invasive removal sites.

Remediation04

Repopulation gardens and mosaic walls

Detailed studies of the repopulation gardens and mosaic walls - community art created through recycled tiles and rammed earth construction.
