"The project redefines the site’s relationship with its territory through a careful and iterative process that interweaves social initiatives, low-tech industries, and artisanal production. By activating the site’s material, energetic, and social resources, Entre-Lacs becomes a renewed source of value for the entire bioregion. This transformation supports ecological evolution through frugal remediation, circular material flows, and nature-led regeneration, while fostering social evolution by empowering local actors, establishing shared governance, and rebuilding productive solidarities."
