Mapping Landscapes in Flux
Multidisciplinary practitioner and scholar Katie O’Meara explores the complex landscapes at the intersection of natural and human systems.
Her work brings together architecture, landscape, and geography to address significant social and environmental issues.
Urban Lab
Cities are ever-changing places with a dynamic set of forces instigating change… and stasis. On city-scale infrastructure projects, my role is to broaden the vision of what essential technical interventions can deliver to co-create engaging, lively, safe public spaces where locals and visitors can interact, relax, and fully participate in community.
Cultural Landscapes
Working in collaboration with archaeologists, anthropologists and historians, my role on cultural landscape projects is to connect the presence of specific settlement sites and small-scale artifacts with the landscape as a whole, in an effort to understand how the culture has been informed by, and shaped the landscape.
Natural Systems
Working in extreme environments and vulnerable ecosystems, my mapping and photographic work brings a glimpse of these remote and often forgotten terrains to the foreground in exhibitions, publications and lectures.
