p>Designing is an experimental practice. Eschewing traditional concepts of designing as simply solving problems, and ideas of research as a positivist pursuit of truth, Landscope DesignLab embraces an expansive perspective of design-directed research. Using the tools of questioning, collaborating, designing, grounding and communicating, the DesignL...

... Strategically this process takes on multivalent characteristics including applying multiple programmatic drivers with which to build possibility. In work undertaken to imagine a 'Drylands Park' in New Zealand's Mackenzie Basin, a distributed form evolved that at times accommodated multiple forms of protection, elsewhere pan-region trails, pastoral grazing, tourism ventures and farm-based experiences (Figure 4). Such methods apply the use of matrices to facilitate cross-pollination, bringing together elements which may not have been used in an interrelated way before, like the 'knight's move' -the oblique operation where things not linearly connected are combined in unexpected ways. ...

... When discussing canal restoration, Nassauer and Opdam (2008) stressed that the process and the product of design may bridge the gap between the iterative cycles of scientific research and actual landscape transformation. For a while now, several design disciplines, including architecture (Abbott and Bowring, 2017), landscape architecture (Moosavi, 2022), urban design (Cortesão and Lenzholzer, 2022) and engineering (Stappers and Giaccardi, 2017), have long embraced and highly regarded "research by or through design" methodologies. As cited by Kwak et al. (2021), physical design needs to be closely integrated with verified knowledge about the past (for calibration), present (for inspection) and future (for simulation). ...
Purpose
To encourage natural and cultural heritage tourism, this study intends to offer a sustainable approach to resurfacing a historic canal in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh. Dholaikhal, the canal that was once a vital artery of Old Dhaka, has been encroached upon and buried beneath box culverts to accommodate the city’s road network development, resulting in environmental deterioration and the loss of cultural significance.
Design/methodology/approach
This study employs a mixed-method research approach that incorporates multidisciplinary techniques after exploring the canal’s historical trace and present condition thoroughly through historical and contextual study, map regression, land use pattern analysis, transect walks, photographic documentation and a design workshop.
Findings
Findings unfold the scope of reviving the forgotten existence of Dholaikhal, indicating actionable steps for intervention. The proposed regeneration of Dholaikhal and its adjacent surroundings confirms a symbiotic relationship between heritage preservation and tourism development by focusing on ecological restoration and cultural preservation through community engagement.
Practical implications
The study offers practical recommendations for implementing the suggested design solutions, focusing on fostering collaboration and offering invaluable perspectives for policymakers, urban designers and local residents. It also establishes a model for revitalizing urban waterways of historical significance, therefore promoting a balanced coexistence between the city’s natural and cultural heritage.
Originality/value
This research engages a mixed-method approach to preserving natural heritage, proposing a holistic model that simultaneously considers ecological awareness, historical relevance and community engagement.
