This project focuses on spaces that have been abandoned by people as a result of urban regeneration. The project seeks to activate the potential of these abandoned spaces through impact erosion and to explore the possibility of developing these spaces into green spaces. In addition, erosion as a natural evolutionary process is closely linked to the third landscape theory. This project is an attempt to refine the third landscape theory. Third landscape spaces are often inaccessible to people due to the unrestrained wildness of the space. This project optimises the accessibility of the space through a series of landscape interventions. As an important manifestation of erosion, Cracks provide space for plants to grow. The rainwater collected by the cracks provides sufficient nutrients for the plants. Initially, mosses will grow around the cracks, and their growth will accelerate the rate of erosion, making the cracks even larger. Some larger cracks can become habitats for insects and provide rooting space for larger plants. In the future, spaces that have been abandoned by humans will be transformed by plants into ecologically valuable green spaces. The project also looks at the landscape challenges that may be encountered in the future, such as car parks that may be abandoned and the long-term intensive maintenance of some landscape spaces that may also consume resources. The project seeks to give new function to spaces that may be abandoned in the future through low impact design. In addition, Glasgow Green, which has been under heavy maintenance, will be influenced by some design venues that will develop into a richer landscape space.
