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”?
Our project focuses on the social aspect of re-sourcing, exploring how the built environment can shape lifestyles that naturally embrace circularity. By showcasing reuse, sustainable building practices, and local heritage, and by creating high-quality public spaces, we foster community care, sharing, reduced resource use, and a resilient, sustainable neighbourhood.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The design builds upon the existing qualities, embracing the industrial character as a foundation for future transformation. The site offers strong potential for a future circular neighbourhood, with existing heritage halls, temporary housing and high potential for acquisition and storage of demolition materials. Proximity to the ROVA waste management facility enables reuse, storage and logistics.
