"For nearly two centuries, the former metallurgical plant of Fumel shaped its territory, generating long-term soil pollution and leaving the site today in a condition of industrial wasteland. The F3 project proposes to work with anthroposol as a design and regenerative material, transforming the former ironworks into a plant nursery. By developing a vegetal production chain, the project supports soil remediation while initiating a new local, social, and ecological economy."
