The study area is a deteriorated ex-lignite mine of 2.200ha. The project acts as a strategy in four thematic axes: ecology-landscape restoration, connectivity-circulation, uses-production and landscape identity-past industrial genius loci. The core idea is the creation of a spatial organization system that will give geometry, form and life to the vast and out of scale place, facilitating the interconnection and habitats’ ecological recuperation. The site will recuperate its agricultural identity, and will also offer uses of: ecotourism, recreation, culture, sports, renewable energy, cultural.
