Bog Land: Recovering the extractive landscape

Élisabeth Baril

Diploma project

Spring 2017
Institute of Urbanism and Landscape

Eimear Mairéad Tynan

The project investigates how landscape architecture can enable the recovery of a soon-to-be abandoned industrial peat extraction site on Andøya through ecological methods and tools.

The project allows for a diversity of new productive and generative natures to emerge by carbon rebalancing on a post-industrial site, while also introducing commercial, scientific, recreational and educational amenities. Throughout the project, time, climate and ecological processes inform the design outcomes.
 
The design proposal spans over 50 years and details the 25th year of recovery. It proposes a choreography of the diverse uses of the site through ecological management operations­ - an anthropogenic performance to be experienced by local workers and residents, wildlife enthusiasts and tourists alike.
