Experimental industrial building for the treatment of muds, with educational routes.
The cities are the main production site for the waste, with a range of products going from solid urban waste to sewer. The depuration muds are a new material that a production process can transform into heat energy and electric power. The project concerns the building of the necessary spaces to house the machines and manufactures for this experimental activity, in a landscape made up of hills and valleys close to a garbage dump, already in operation. We have tried to propose a strategy of new relations, starting from topography: the modeling and the excavation transform the landscape into a thin sheet, re-writing, with its folds, the hills material. An 800-meter educational tunnel allows discovering the production processes and the whole waste cycle.
