INTERVIEW
^{Click on the images to enlarge}
1. How do you define the main issues of your project in relation with the theme “Re-sourcing”? Re-sourcing thanks to nature, to social dynamics, to new materiality? In which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution? And in which way do you think your project can be called a “regenerative project”?
Re sourcing is understood as a systemic shift. The project re sources materials through circular use of tailings, space through long term adaptability, and value through social and ecological processes. It is regenerative because extraction and regeneration happen simultaneously, producing future landscapes rather than residual damage. This project is partially based on the Refshaleøen Development Playbook by EFFEKT (CC BY-SA 4.0)

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The project starts from the idea that the site will inevitably change for over a century. Instead of resisting mutation, the design turns it into a driver. Spatial flexibility, phased landfills, and shared infrastructures respond directly to uncertainty, allowing the site to evolve while maintaining ecological and social continuity.

PROJECT:

3. Have you treated these issues previously? What were the reference projects that inspired yours?
The project builds on previous academic and professional research on post industrial landscapes, circular territories, and adaptive masterplans. References include large scale mining landscapes in Scandinavia, regenerative infrastructure projects, and design research on open ended planning frameworks rather than fixed end states.

SITE:

Vindsås, Existing natural maintained water feature

Vindsås, Existing viewpoint accessible by a trail

4. How can your project be implemented together with the actors through a negotiated process and in time. How did you consider this issue in your project?
Implementation is based on negotiation and phasing. The Playbook acts as a shared framework rather than a fixed plan, allowing different actors to enter over time. Common infrastructures, shared landfills, and co managed spaces enable collaboration while keeping the system adaptable to future needs.

REFERENCES:

From mining waste to public and geological parks

Circular systems combining waste, energy, and education

5. How did you form the team for the competition and if so what are the skills you associated?
The team was formed by combining complementary skills in architecture, landscape. Shared interest in circular design and ecological transition allowed us to work across scales, from material processes to governance and spatial vision.

6. How could this prize help you in your professional career?
Yes. The prize would support our ambition to work on circular thinking, speculative research and material experimentation. It would help us continue using design as a way to explore new relationships between resources, processes, and future uses, beyond conventional architectural outcomes.
