Research concept

An abandoned limestone quarry is understood as a wound in the landscape that requires not a quick decorative repair, but a long process of ecological, social, and personal recovery.

The twenty-year proposal develops through minimal intervention, phased renaturalisation, and the return of biodiversity. Architectural elements appear only where they support safety, research, and public use.

A circular route connects observation of natural recovery, education, local production, and practices of care. People do not control the final image here; they become participants in the territory's shared evolution.
