ONE SEMESTER
This project explores how the landscape
of a rock quarry can be reclaimed after its
commercial life. Informed by its inherent
characteristics and the context of its locality,
how can the quarry be transformed from an
inaccessible wasteland into a public quarry-
scape, conducive to both ecological and urban
welfare? Proposed design interventions include
establishing an aspen forest sanctuary for
the endangered vermillion beetle (sinober-
bille); a network of pathways on existing and
new infrastructure that connects the site to
its surroundings; strategic vistas and places
inside the quarry; and public programmes for
rock climbing, scuba diving, concerts, events
and dining.
