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”?
The project interprets Re-sourcing as the activation of latent ecological, social and material resources embedded in place. Nature-based systems regenerate water, soil and biodiversity; social dynamics foster shared spaces and local economies; reused materials close circular loops. It is regenerative as it restores ecosystems, empowers communities and evolves over time building resilience locally.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
Design issues and site mutation converged through an interpretation of ecological fragmentation and social discontinuity as opportunities. Water dynamics, residual land and obsolete infrastructures guided the spatial strategy, turning constraints into blue-green systems and collective spaces. The project reframes transformation as a regenerative process rooted in local landscapes, everyday practices and long-term adaptability.
