Team:<\/strong> Mariam Zelimger, Dariya Pilipak, Anastasiia Zabelina<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Year: <\/strong>2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location: <\/strong>Dove Holes Quarry, UK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concept:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ReGenesis transforms<\/strong> an abandoned quarry from a degraded industrial site into a sanctuary<\/strong> where nature and community thrive together. The design restores<\/strong> biodiversity<\/strong> through rain gardens, greenhouses, and wildlife zones, while introducing public paths, cultural spaces, and sustainable systems that regenerate the landscape<\/strong> and weave it back into civic life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urban context:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is located in an abandoned quarry near a lake, formerly an industrial site<\/strong>. Surrounded by <\/strong>natural slopes and watercourses, it sits on the edge of the city, providing a unique opportunity to reconnect degraded land with the urban fabric.<\/strong> The site\u2019s topography and existing vegetation inform pathways, terraces, and activity zones, creating a regenerative landscape<\/strong> that bridges nature and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is organized into three parts: Masterplan<\/strong>, Concert Hall<\/strong>, and Pavilions<\/strong>, each responding to the site\u2019s terrain and ecological potential while creating interconnected public and cultural spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ReGenesis:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors move through accessible, eco-friendly paths<\/strong> that weave across the site, connecting terraces, green zones, and cultural spaces<\/strong>. A multifunctional amphitheatre<\/strong>, blending with the quarry\u2019s contours, hosts concerts and events, while pergolas and gardens<\/strong> offer areas for relaxation, picnics, and seasonal activities. Elevators<\/strong> on steep slopes ensure inclusivity for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The masterplan also tells the story of transformation<\/strong>: guided tours, workshops, interpretive signage, and a history pavilion<\/strong> trace the quarry\u2019s journey from industrial site to ecological sanctuary. Sustainability is embedded throughout, with solar-powered pavilions, off-grid energy systems, rain gardens, and locally sourced materials<\/strong> supporting a vision of long-term resilience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-Sustainable Concert Hall with nature-based solutions<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert hall<\/strong> features an innovative larch wood waffle structure<\/strong> encircled by a glass ring facade<\/strong>. Its wavy roof<\/strong>continues the timber framework and forms a walkable surface<\/strong> with modular hexagonal panels<\/strong>, combining greenery<\/strong>, solar panels<\/strong>, and birdhouses<\/strong> to integrate ecological<\/strong> and energy-generating<\/strong> functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sustainability<\/strong> is central: kinetic paving<\/strong> generates energy in high-traffic areas, rain gardens<\/strong> and cisterns<\/strong> manage water, and the glass facade<\/strong> with thermal-mass paving<\/strong> supports passive heating and cooling. Inside, bamboo ceiling panels<\/strong>optimize acoustics<\/strong>, providing an intimate experience<\/strong> for up to 1,700 visitors<\/strong>..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanning three levels<\/strong>, the hall includes terraces<\/strong>, a caf\u00e9<\/strong>, restaurant<\/strong>, service areas<\/strong>, and multiple balconies<\/strong>. The design harmonizes with the quarry landscape<\/strong>, creating a self-sustaining, climate-responsive venue<\/strong> that blends architecture, ecology, and community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarry Biophilic Pavilion<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pavilion acts as a gateway<\/strong> to the quarry, merging with the landscape<\/strong> through three terraced levels<\/strong> that host public spaces for engagement and ecological integration. Community gardens<\/strong>, a rain garden<\/strong>, and a pier<\/strong> support biodiversity, while the upper level<\/strong> offers observation decks<\/strong>, an amphitheater<\/strong>, a sensory trail<\/strong>, indoor farms<\/strong>, and a caf\u00e9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its organic, modular structure<\/strong>, made of steam-bent wood<\/strong> and 3D-printed biodegradable walls<\/strong>, echoes natural forms. The facade<\/strong>, combining moss cement<\/strong>, quarry stone<\/strong>, and glass roofing<\/strong>, integrates solar panels<\/strong>, bird nesting spaces<\/strong>, and insect houses<\/strong>, ensuring both climate control and habitat creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operating entirely off-grid<\/strong>, the pavilion harnesses solar, wind, and kinetic energy<\/strong>, alongside a rainwater collection system<\/strong>. Through green corridors<\/strong> and dedicated wildlife zones<\/strong>, it ensures a harmonious coexistence between humans and nature<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
