RE.GEN.ISLE

RE.GEN.ISLE is a civic re-development program for Goat Island aiming to adopt a large scale Australian native flora species re-growth and re-introduction program through typological forms in response to a lack of cultural and Indigenous presence in Sydney’s built environment. This mission has been explored through architecture celebrating horticultural knowledge and benefits surrounding native plant species and the importance this to Sydney’s future. A large macro community garden situated in the centre of Goat Island with below Botanic Centre aims to connect visitors to the lifecycle of native species from seedling, planting, harvesting, consumption.

RE.GEN.ISLE integrates the concept of intertwining native plant species and contemporary society through architectural form, detailing and materials. This has been achieved through macro planning, site and heritage research and in-depth material study. The re-development programs facilitates sustainable, eco-friendly design that aims to replenish the native plant population on Goat Island and cultural recognition in Sydney. All materials implemented in RE.GEN.ISLE are Australian sourced, located and fully sustainable.
