Living- Lab Greater Blue Mountains, Australia.<\/p>\n

The intervention project is located within the limits of Wollemi National Park, in the UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage listed Greater Blue Mountains. An exceptional area of Australia recognized for its fragile and ecological diversity with a wide range of habitats.<\/p>\n

The intervention is proposed as a -living laboratory-, through a conductive thread that weaves different narratives of the landscape. Along the path, the intervention delimits a fragment of forest, as a botanical island with a significant biodiversity in which various endemic species coexist together.
\nThe trail offers diverse approximations to the natural environment as well as the sensory experience of touching, smelling, observing and listening. In this way, the intervention proposes a symbolic delimitation of a pristine forest and the enhancement of its biodiversity, where the path suggests a multilayered journey, weaving together botany and senses.<\/p>\n

With the intention of increasing the landscape experience and environmental awareness, the project applies interdisciplinary methods of approximation to the site, proposing links between sensory approach and didactic processes. The intervention is complemented by the -Research Lab-, a space of knowledge and dissemination where the experiential site work is exposed: mappings, cartographies, videos, sound recordings, sketches, photographs, models, as well as the interactive herbarium.<\/p>\n

In order to collect, identify and disseminate the different species that shape the Botanical Island, the herbarium is exhibited as a framework in which local community members participate and interact, sharing their own knowledge about the plants identified on the site: uses, applications, cultural meanings, relationships and personal stories. Among the flora that cohabits this fragment of landscape are several varieties of eucalyptus and angophoras, associated with a variety of cedars, acacias, turpentines, ferns, herbs, mosses, shrubs and wildflowers.<\/p>\n
