Synchronous Regeneration System: Waste, Cycles, Soils. Antofagasta, Chillán y Región Metropolitana, Chile, 2023

Abstract

How can we reimagine waste disposal infrastructure in our cities? Florencia García’s thesis project focuses on urban landfills, utilizing architecture as a temporary component in an ecological remediation system. Educational and communal programs suspended above the landfill aim to make waste cycles visible while later facilitating soil regeneration, creating a necessary barrier to close the landfill cycle.
