COMPETITION: Spatial Planning Competition of Ideas “Landscape Redefinition and Productive
Rehabilitation of the former Mines of Aminteo”

CLIENT: DEH (Public Power Corporation S.A. of Greece)

LOCATION: former Mines of Aminteo, Western Macedonia region, Greece

SURFACE: 2.200 ha

COLLABORATORS:

DESCRIPTION

The competition is about the environmental rehabilitation and transformation of the deteriorated lignite mines in the area of Aminteo in Western Macedonia, Greece (2.200ha).
Main aim of Topio7’s project is to facilitate the rebirth of a productive and fertile landscape, maintaining the genius loci of the site and the memory of the past use. Using ecology as a spatial regulator of the restoration process, a new landscape entity is being produced, connected with the surrounding areas and supported by renewable sources of energy. The site will recuperate its agricultural identity, but it will also offer uses of tourism and recreation that will become poles of attraction. The project acts as a strategy in four thematic axes: ecology, agricultural production, landscape restoration and culture.
The core idea is the creation of a spatial organization system that will define clearly the blurred borders of the area and will form a series of successive zones of agriculture, forest plantations, uses and movements. This proposed network gives geometry to the vast and out of scale site, facilitating the interconnection and habitats’ ecological recuperation. The final result is being supported by landscape metabolism processes, configurating a series of different characters’ and spatial qualities’ landscapes.
Through these planning gestures, the project reconnects, interconnects and incorporates the existing degraded parts into a new landscape continuum. The new landscape canvas is experiencing a constant and dynamic ecological change through time, offering simultaneously a rich program of uses and possibilities for the local society.

DESCRIPTION

The subject of the Competition was to express ideas for the pavement network of the city of Katerini social and commercial center.
The project “landscape_stitches” aims to create a contemporary public space that is spatially integrated, has a bioclimatic-ecological character, a social dimension and a variety of uses and actions, contributing to the formation of local identity for the city. The idea comes from the linearity of the pedestrian area and its use as an active urban passage of the city. By reinterpreting the dynamics of the axes the project proposes a fluid field of crossings, where urban and landscape bioclimatic features coexist as a new hybrid urban habitat.
The paving is treated as a single unitarian skin with elements of the Pierian landscape. It forms a unified urban carpet that is flowing throughout the whole pavement network. The new pattern is organized by landscape weaves that flow into space and are organized in orthogonal longitudinal shapes, the so-called “landscape stitches”. These are longitudinal small gardens that function as small urban parks with endemic species, green rooms that create rest areas with water elements and playgrounds. The Pierian Mountains and their landscape as a dominant landscape reference are the source of inspiration for these small landscapes.
Additional elements of the bioclimatic upgrading are the green facades with creepers applied to selected surrounding buildings, as well as the organization of a canopy system for the recreational areas.
