Reviewing Esk, is a speculative design project set in 2038, centred on the re-wilding of the Esk Valley post-disaster. From the perspective of the Esk Ridge, three strategically aligned lookouts with a connecting bridge aim to reconnect people to the mana of the area, through the valley and its surrounding mountain ranges. These lookouts play a crucial role in fostering the healing process by encouraging reconnection while offering observation of the evolving landscape as it undertakes its journey towards natural restoration.
