Atlas of Hanging Swamps


The Atlas for the Hanging Swamps of the Blue Mountains is a design research project conducted from August to October 2023, dedicated to documenting and deepening our understanding of the unique hanging swamp ecosystems in the Blue Mountains, especially in urban-adjacent areas. This project explores the often-hidden presence of swamps, identifying indicators that signal these ecosystems even without visible standing water, and tracing the changes that shape these landscapes over time.


The project was made possible with a generous grant from a design thinking grant from the Alastair Swayn Foundation
