The Museum Where Water Heals-A Regenerative Water-Cycle Landscape for Pomona Island
My work explores how landscape can become a living system of repair, memory and more-than-human coexistence. Through my project on Pomona Island, Manchester, I investigate water not as a passive resource to be controlled, but as an active ecological agent that can reveal, filter and regenerate a post-industrial landscape.
The proposal transforms the island into a regenerative water-cycle landscape, where soil remediation, flood adaptation, habitat creation and public experience are connected through a sequence of wetlands, rain gardens, soft canal edges and seasonal floodable spaces. Rather than treating the site as an empty brownfield, the project recognises its industrial traces, spontaneous vegetation and ecological potential as part of a new landscape archive.
My broader interest lies in climate-adaptive landscape infrastructure, biodiversity renewal, regenerative design and speculative methods that allow human and non-human actors to negotiate shared futures.
