Resumo

Environmental health influences personal wellbeing through direct experience. Despite this, the focus of the literature on the regeneration and reuse of post- industrial sites considers them as biophysical spaces studied conceptually rather than as places of physical engagement. The literature lacks an embodied perspective and presents such landscapes as sensorially impoverished. Narrative scholarship counters this shortcoming by employing phenomenology, thick description, and immersive walking. Although landscape archaeology, autoethnography, and anthropology apply these approaches, the methodology has rarely been applied to environmental 'restoration' projects. This article reviews the literature and proposes a methodology for studying post-industrial sites based on sensorial 'mind walking.' The approach enables a better understanding of the reclamation process and offers lessons for professionals building restorative experiences.
