Introduction

I entered this degree seeking to understand the relationship between the individual and their surrounding landscapes, and how the landscape informs the creation of individual and collective identities. I have always understood landscapes as contested territories, an issue that is heightened in Australia due to our nation existing on stolen land. Even so, I have constantly been challenged by the fact that I still feel ‘at home’ here particularly in the landscapes of NSW.
It is not that I wish to solely focus on histories of tragedy and exploitation, it is more that I have realised that the landscape is an essential forum where we discuss these things, a place where we deal with these difficult histories. From a few years of looking at landscape design approaches in Australia and around the world, it has become apparent that the landscape is the single most effective way at dealing with historic trauma, truth-telling, and offering us a chance to move onwards.
This is the confusion that I sought to clarify. I feel that it is an issue particular to colonial settler nations. As Simon Schama notes in Landscape and Memory, the landscape is where we find the roots of our national myths; it is the place where our identity is conceived. So then in Australia, how can we successfully form a sense of identity via the landscape, when/where there has been so many challenging moments of violence and dispossession?
It is here that my studies are focused. How to ethically, effectively, sensitively memorialise the past in the landscape. To reveal past injustices, to create a sense of place that is founded on material reminders of what has happened in particular landscapes.
Even post-invasion, what does our landscape say about our relationship to the land? How have we modified the land to make it bow to our systems of capital extraction? What do our landscapes convey regarding our exploitation of our natural resources, and each other?
Most importantly, however, I’m interested in creating a sense of optimism via landscape design in these landscapes. How can we both memorialise, and offer a path out - some kind of collective redemption vis a vis what has occurred in/on any particular site?

There is no other means in our cultural/linguistic toolbox to more effectively instill a sense of historic inquiry and acknowledgment of past wrongs/natural disasters. Landscape based truth telling has immense power.

Landscape, History and Nostalgia Curating historical objects and materials at White Bay

Reflections on history that are designed via the landscape use materiality and relics as their main mode of communication. The spirit of the past is captured in the physical make up of objects of the site.
The landscape architect has the ability to approach White Bay, to preserve histories for remembrance and to create a deeply meaningful sense of place in reference to the site’s challenging histories.
The use of these materials in design is a powerful way to communicate and transfer meaning from the past to the present. The Bays Precinct, with its defunct Power Station, extensive concrete aprons and crumbling edges with emergent novel ecologies is a place where material history can be easily noticed, and touched. The site has a contested history, from invasion where all signs of First Nation use has been either quarried or in-filled. Port-side working class culture has been replaced with million dollar property. A once magnificent natural landmark of Glebe Island has been flattened. What we have left on this contested ground is a collection of forms and materials that are now needed to be ‘curated’.
stand-ins for people and their histories (and subsequently their communities’ histories). This on the one hand heightens their value, but also reinforces the need to display with care. The style of representation has immense weight in how historical objects and materials are received. Objects that are over-aestheticised have the potential to lose their ability to memorialise history, becoming

Dialectical Relationship Humans People The existing forms and materials of Glebe Island are products of the dialectical relationship that exists between us and the landscape. We had the industry to quarry and flatten a 20m high island, to infill its borders and to create an immense deep water port. But also, in reverse, natural forces have eroded concrete, have rusted steel, have crumbled bricks, and have infiltrated liminal spaces with novel native and weedy ecologies. What we now have is a complicated synthesis of natural and human forces.
Potential
Landscape
When visiting the site, we observe a totality of visual and material reminders of the site’s industrial history. But also, some elements don’t fit. The casuarinas clumping chaotically - the pampas grasses appearing as islands in concrete deserts. These outbreaks of nature in such a desolate landscape offer a disconnect in understanding the site. They open up conceptual thoughts of what the site could become.
Then
Future
Now
I believe there is beauty in this complicated relationship, and it is this relationship that forms a sense of place. I think it is tangible in the landscape - our destruction and industrial use of Glebe Island has created an extremely unique space.

Due to extensive land reclamaition and alteration, archaelogical record of original land use is scarce. There are two sites on Goat Island (a midden and a cave (B Rich, 1985: Goat Island Archaeological Survey and Assessment of Aboriginal Sites). However, because of large-scale infil, there is potential for preservation of materials across the Glebe Island/White Bay area. This would be a key concern in the remodelling of the site in the future.

Notes on Industrial History
Everything Changes: White Bay as Industrial Site Due to White Bay’s long waterfront and it’s location next door to the burgeoning Sydney CBD, it became a site of development. In Sydney’s early days roads were tricky to navigate. Water was the main form of transport and connection between each outpost on the harbour.

a sense of balance and harmony in landscapes that have historically been contested ground for communities and their exploitation/displacement. Furthermore, objects and materials that remain Instead of these statues - a ‘restorative’
I found a theoretical foundation in the work of Svetlana Boym. Boym was a cultural theorist whose work had a strong focus on the concepts of nostalgia. Boym grew up in the USSR, and saw the way that history was used as a political tool to control contemporary thought. Patriotic national myths were reconstructed out of the ruins of the two world wars, to support the totalitarian tendencies of Europe. Immense statues were constructed to memorialise important chauvinistic histories.
nostalgia, Boym argues for ‘reflective’ nostalgia. To examine the rubble rather than to clear it away for a sanitised version of history. Indeed, it is the patina, the ruins that hold the most important meaning.
in the landscape, following Sturken, could be bodily metaphorical representations of people and communities who have come before, so therefore need to be treated and displayed with utmost sensitivity.
As we’re dealing with a lot of rubble and ruin at Glebe Island, her analysis was very helpful in interpreting the site.
To respond to these complex issues, this essay looks to Svetlama Boym’s notions of
reflective and restorative nostalgia as guides in the act of landscape site curation. Restorative nostalgia puts emphasis on nostos and proposes to rebuild the lost home and patch up the memory gaps. Reflective nostalgia dwells in algia, in longing and loss, the imperfect process of remembrance (Boym p. 41)
Boym, S. 2001. The Future of Nostalgia, Basic Books, New York (p.41)
For Boym, restorative nostalgia is about reconstructing ‘truths’, and ‘characterises nationalist revivals and … myth-making’. Reflective nostalgia ‘ lingers on ruins, the patina of time and history, in the dreams of another place and another time.’ (41) A design ethic that took inspiration from Boym’s reflective nostalgia may allow space for different, difficult histories to be told.

Before Invasion
History can play a central role in the creative direction of site design (Heyde, 2015). Pirrama and Barangaroo are examples of this - where different histories have been highlighted. Materials play a large part in this. Preservation, modification or the removal of existing site materials guides the narrative of a landscape intervention. Therefore, what is left on site, and what is new on site, should be clear markers of the designer’s intent, and reveal what kind of history has been intended to be told.

Three main periods in Sydney’s History: Pre-settlement in 1788; The early years of Sydney’s colonial expansion (1788 ~ 1850) and then the years of the harbour as industrial port ~1850 onwards. These three historic periods - and their inherent ‘themes’/materials are typified in foreshore areas across Sydney. The foreshore is thus a living museum, with objects, materials and stories being told. What ever period is most ‘in focus’ gives a foreshore space a dominant character.

Panita Karamanea, in her article Landscape, memory and contemporary design argues that landscapes are historical palimpsests. Layers upon layers of human intervention and action have, in certain places, created landscapes of deep historical and cultural meaning. These landscapes reflect our cultural history and therefore the landscape is a key element in the formation of our collective and individual identities. Karamanea formulates a design argument - almost a design ‘ethic’ - regarding designing with and in respect to the history of a site. Designers should try to ‘awaken’, ‘reveal’ and ‘underline’ histories that exist on site, but do so with a resilient mix of architectural and natural elements. This poster uses Karamanea’s idea of landscape as historical palimpsest to study and cross-analyse two parks on Sydney Harbour: Barangaroo Headland Park and Pirrama Park. It seeks to understand how these parks reveal and underline different historic layers. It is particularly focused on the history of these waterfronts as working ports, and how this history is represented through objects, materials and storytelling on site. The analysis sometimes includes the parks’ adjacent streets and areas - as these neighbouring sites contribute to the story that is being told within each park.

Landscape Architects: ASPECT Pirrama Park is a foreshore tract of open space looking north and east towards Balmain and Rozelle. Its topography is flat - evidence of its previous use as a wharf. It is dominated by a hardwood walkway apron. This too reminds us of the area’s previous life as a working port.

Barangaroo Headland is a park that seeks to recreate the natural shoreline, as well as the bushland that would have been growing there. Its focus is on the natural form and also on the First Nation heritage of the site. There is an art installation called Wallema by Alison Page & Nik Lachajczak, which highlights the significance of Sydney Harbour to First Nations people.

Both parks included in this precedent study strongly convey the notion that parks are palimpsests, but in their own unique way. Pirrama Park and its surrounds have maintained a visual and textural link to the working history of Pyrmont. When walking around Pirrama, the strongest history to be felt is that of marine hardwood, concrete, steel and salt water. These are the materials of a period when working

JMD’s clifftop walk at Cockatoo Island is a local example of Boym’s ideal of a reflective nostalgia. The design intervention is a simple and functional set of walkways - to allow safe transition across a deeply meaningful landscape. JMD have understood that no typical landscape design could compete with the deep level of meaning coming from what is there now. Other similar approaches are evident across the harbour - in particular Illoura Reserve with its natural simplicity, and Pirrama park with its fading port forms
These were inspiring precedents for speculations at Glebe Island.

A collection of anti-precedents - not that these types of designs are not correct, it’s just that they are already a well trodden path. The form and materiality of a site is totally transformed - the connection with a site’s challenging history is lost and a totally new experience is created. It is a handy way to forget.

Explorative Drawing 2 (Disintegration) Looking at movement, both of time and of the individual’s position in the landscape.
Visual montages were created to explore different themes and approaches to the site, bringing together the theoretical and design intentions.
Explorative Drawing 1 (Disintegration)
We witness disintegration - and witness very clearly at White Bay. Perhaps we shouldn’t ‘clean it up’ - maybe leave the signs of disintegration?
I tried to find evidence via Trove online for imagery of the original Glebe Island - and found images of the quarry on the island. These images show the beauty and size of the island, and the immense human effort to reduce it to a flat surface.
Explorative Drawing 3 (Renewal) Explorative Drawing 4 (Renewal) Re-establishing the island as a natural shore front moving from disintegration to renewal - through a process of the disintegration of the hard edge of the port-front. We have a perfect living precedent of a natural harbour up at the Hawkesbury, so I grabbed screen shots of the Hawkesbury’s shoreline and montaged them on the White bay shore front and recreated the island.
The idea of perspective and the harbour. It’s so rare to get down to the water level in Sydney Harbour (especially in the city), not to mention walk on the seafloor. What would that feel like?
27
Explorative Drawing 5 (Disintegration and Renewal)
But also, what has been built can disappear
I wanted to interrogate the meaning of nature’s re-capturing of the site.
I created a grid to mark out the scaled form of the site. What was discovered was that after the tide had reclaimed the land, what was left was the grid and the frame. Ideas in the superstructure out last physical form. What ideas will be brought to the Island?
Exploring ways to represent the celestial movements and their relationship to a fluid tidal edge. I was looking to interrogate the natural forces still existing on site. These forces may take centre stage once again.
28
Decisions came about via exploration of themes through note and sketches. The size of the site and the type of response required writing and sketching to understand where I was at in the process.

Final Project - Glebe Island Remembered
A main intention was to acknowledge the divide in accessibility to wonderful places in Sydney. The harbour offers some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, however there are all in the wealthiest areas of Sydney. The waterways of western Sydney are generally in poor condition, and are inaccessible. How can we tip this balance?

Plan of Site
Continuing on from the second trimester, the main thematic inspiration was to leave the site as it is, in the main. See what can come from what it there, to allow the sites history to be a palpable main player in the experience of the site. Glebe Island has been heavily engineered and its form is one of the main historical signifiers. I sought to maintain the form of the island in the main. The concrete apron remains, with spoil on top from the nearby tunnelling for Westconnex and the new Metro line to Parramatta.
It is a celebration and examination of the sites challenging history, and the addition of waste products from the nearby mega projects adds to this theme of challenging, acknowledging and accepting our destruction of natural landscapes. The aim is to take these ingredients of destruction and create something hopeful and beautiful.

Cove 1
The first cove is a place of reconnection to the water. An uncanny combination of a working port adjacent to a swimming spot is an untried landscape typology in Sydney Harbour. Why can this not be a possibility? With simple cuts and fills, and with a bit of sand from the spoil of the Westconnex tunneling, a new beach is formed.
Importantly, the industrial elements remain - the artificial reef is created by stacking units of the concrete apron. The wharf is deconstructed to reveal a new edge condition. The site is already spectacular - we need not do much to facilitate a spectacle. Importantly, the less we do, the more tangible the sites history becomes

The Headland Park is where the main novel/restorative ecological design moves occur. It’s wide open expanses are eerily similar to the heath-headlands of the outer Sydney Harbour. I had been walking through La Perouse and Cape Banks during lockdown, and noticed similarities in the landscape both there and at White Bay. A huge flat area is an opportunity for a unique heath-based ecology.

Landscape
A main intention was to memorialise Glebe Island. I wished to create a sense of the majesty that was once there, that had been completely flattened. I came to the conclusion, following my research, that what might be appropriate is a visual reminder - a suggestion of what was there. To spur a question in the visitors to the park and passers by.
Theoretical Framework - Sculpture
Using industrial materials, the aim is to represent the landscape/human dialectic in sculptural form. Oxidised finished steel framing and steel wiring will hold lighting that outlines the original islands profile. By day it will be a jarring angular linear sculpture, by night a constellation of pearls lighting up a line of topography showing how the island once was.

Like a pearl diver who descends to the bottom of the sea, not to excavate the bottom and bring it to light, but to pry loose the rich and the strange, the pearls and the coral in the depths and carry them to the surface Hannah Arendt on Walter Benjamin’s Method
93
94
Like the pearl diver, the landscape architect need not bring up the sea floor, rather bring to the surface the pearls - the rich and the strange. Our site is covered in pearls - fundamental assets - of infinite scale. Our effort need not be great. I argue that with small design interventions and strategic planting, the pearls of the site can be revealed to create a challenging but inspiring landscape and public domain.
The intention was to use this final project as a means to explore my own questions regarding the landscape and identity, and what could be possible with a response to a landscape question that is grounded in a certain type of theory. Landscape memorials need not be singular and distant from experience. If one was to incorporate existing historic forms and materials into a new landscape design, the past will be tangibly there for all to interpret, touch and understand. We don’t need to put the past on plinths and describe what was once there what was there is still there, and is part of an ongoing process of becoming and disintegration. It is quite popular to put aside a few key elements found on site to ‘represent’ the history of a space, and then clear the rest of the site in a violent transformation cutting off the site from its history and its previous physical form. Artifacts that were set aside are then used as mantle pieces to suggest what was there. I believe this enters the realm of the tokenistic and opportunistic - a simple way to clear the slate, create a tabla rasa for a complete departure from the sites complex landscape dialectic.
Ideas of sustainability and the restoration of ecologies were intended to go hand in hand with the themes of historical representation on site. The jarring ideas of an industrial nowhere-land and a flourishing restored heath/dune ecosystem would be the perfect landscape contradiction to represent the previously described landscape dialectic. Such a style of intervention would naturally question our horrible history of the destruction of Glebe Island, but also offer a sense of redemption, in that we have the opportunity to re-adjust the meaning of the headland from industrial exploitation to natural reclamation.
Glebe Island, and the Bays precinct, offer Sydney a chance to convey something different to its residents. A sustainable, historically-aware and accessible harbour foreshore that is both conceptually challenging but also historically and naturally wild. A place that unavoidably represents our destructive relationship to the land post invasion, but also at the same time a proposition of redemption, where the same site of destruction reveals flourishing ecosystems - a sense of hope in what has been repeatedly described as a wasteland.
Finally, the idea of social geography and Western Sydney’s access to spaces like this is a major design influence. The proposed Metro station at White Bay would open up the site directly to people of Western Sydney. I believe it should be an imperative to offer people with restricted access to beautiful places a direct, affordable, equitable access to the harbour and the chance to swim in a beautiful cove.
Glebe Island is facing this problem. Most of the current speculative responses to redeveloping Glebe Island involve a radical redesign of what is there. Why can’t we keep what is there in the main? What is more meaningful than a site with complex layers of history - no matter how brutalist they appear?
