Predicted sea level rise data over the next 80 years reveals Swansea, a humble town at the mouth of Lake Macquarie, will be underwater in 30 years. Medicine Gardens is a simulation how humans might respond to this crisis by combining a ‘managed retreat’ and ‘living shoreline’&nbsp; strategies at the suburban domestic scale. The following process of transformation is explained using the archetypal seasonal changes we recognise as Winter (the flood), Spring (sowing), Summer (abundance) &amp; Autumn (harvest). https://megandobinson.com/winter-the-flood Mon, 16 Nov 2020 08:33:57 +0000 megan dobinson https://megandobinson.com/winter-the-flood <img width="3088" height="1736" width_o="3088" height_o="1736" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/40e3e6d9acf23a28edaa4d7303d44ea2695e4882e0fc348b13b73ace445e849b/winter_blue.png" data-mid="88942367" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/40e3e6d9acf23a28edaa4d7303d44ea2695e4882e0fc348b13b73ace445e849b/winter_blue.png" /> <img width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ba2ce69d7423f26d50852b6faf512688d3404ec0fc985cb148c019641e6f7ec/FIRE-SLOWER.gif" data-mid="88942319" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/8ba2ce69d7423f26d50852b6faf512688d3404ec0fc985cb148c019641e6f7ec/FIRE-SLOWER.gif" />The Flood &nbsp;&nbsp; hjhjfhj https://megandobinson.com/spring-the-sowing Mon, 16 Nov 2020 08:38:40 +0000 megan dobinson https://megandobinson.com/spring-the-sowing <img width="2584" height="1792" width_o="2584" height_o="1792" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ae83fb3ff383f7822679b27453bd001a0ee49a43ac3584b31972747140935d5/spring-pink.png" data-mid="88942544" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ae83fb3ff383f7822679b27453bd001a0ee49a43ac3584b31972747140935d5/spring-pink.png" /> <img width="960" height="540" width_o="960" height_o="540" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c943199a6be7a7a1634fe8428686f882a6eb859719136cfedf2479184769179c/oyster-gif.gif" data-mid="88942588" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/c943199a6be7a7a1634fe8428686f882a6eb859719136cfedf2479184769179c/oyster-gif.gif" />The Sowing &nbsp;&nbsp; hjhjfhj
