Landfill Regeneration
Design strategies for transforming landfills and post-industrial sites into functional landscapes and communities.
Landfill regeneration addresses the challenge of repurposing contaminated and degraded land through architectural and landscape design interventions. Projects in this area combine environmental remediation with spatial design to create new value from waste sites and abandoned industrial areas.
The community explores adaptive reuse of landfills and quarries, waste management infrastructure design, biophilic approaches to site transformation, and strategies for converting post-industrial terrain into parks, housing, and community spaces.
