Redbank Plain Town Square Sound Walk This sound walk takes the busy, boring and usual sounds of shopping centres, transforms it, and delivers it in a way that is intriguing and memorable.

This walk is designed to simulate a prehistoric river where small dinosaur packs, mosquitos and flying creatures gather

Take a light stroll through peaceful Sherwood. Past horses and listening to birds sing, you can find your own little paradise for you and your four legged friend at the Dog Park

WHY LISTEN TO PLANTS? A plant knows and makes worlds. It communicates. https://liquidarchitecture.org.au/events/a-plant-is-a-community When we regard a plant, we usu­ally only see what’s above the sur­face: stems, trunks, branches, leaves, buds and flow­ers. But there’s so much more below ground – intri­cate nets of roots, radi­cles and fungal bodies through which water, nutri­ents, knowl­edge and com­mu­nity flows. Plants are always con­nected, always talk­ing and lis­ten­ing to each other, even in the most con­structed of land­scapes. A plant knows and makes worlds; it is always in com­mu­ni­ca­tion with others. Through root-lis­ten­ing, through prac­tices of shar­ing words, time — and seeds — can we cul­ti­vate a veg­etable-based con­scious­ness? This augmented reality sound walk uses Leah Barclay’s recordings from beneath the surface of the soil to explore the acoustic ecology of plants in response to Monica Gagliano’s new book ‘Thus Spoke the Plant’ (North Atlantic Books; released Novem­ber 13, 2018).

For this AR soundwalk I decided to take users on a walk through the park. I sat and listened to the sounds of the park and felt calm and at peace. This track however, has been designed for everything to go wrong at the park and ruin that peaceful and happy feeling you’d normally enjoy in this space. This soundwalk takes users on a journey through the park at its worst state, filled with teens playing loud music, crying children, angry dogs, swooping birds, and bad weather.
