Abstract
The Drying Green is a radical new urban wetland and park in Gadigal Country, Green Square, Sydney. The park presents a fascinating abstraction of the original wetland systems that characterized the south Sydney landscape more than 200 years ago. The digitally inspired design of the park fuses folded origami-like geometries with smart technologies and natural systems. Designed by landscape architect McGregor Coxall with architect Chrofi and built by Regal Innovations for the City of Sydney, this new landscape celebrates the intensely urban culture of Green Square town centre, which will eventually have a population of over 6,000 residents and 6,000 workers, with densities rivalling parts of Hong Kong or Tokyo.
