This project looks at the fragmentation of the Cumberland Woodland and attempts to reconceptualise how it is perceived by users. The project prioritises existing fragments an frames them as points of regeneration, and exhibits this process of regeneration. The use of environmental triggers to natural regeneration were the strategies that formed this observatory, and ambitiously aim to mimic its native, pre-colonial composition. The integration of the conceptual idea of a “gallery” was to re-position the perspective of users towards the Cumberland Plain Woodland. The formalisation of the site in turn integrates critical notions of preservation, observation, fragility that are vital in emphasising the current critically endangered state of the Cumberland Plain Woodland.
