Abstract
The project seeks to bridge the gap between the disciplines of the Ecology Restoration and Architecture. It is a result of the research, which shows that restoration does not mean bringing the environment to the state of the default. Instead, this time based, prone to disturbances process, should strive for the intensification of novelty landscapes. . In the shrinking Parkstad Area, where the former instruments of financial accumulation are left unattended, a series of architectural interventions will form an interdependent network. It is a strategy for reassembly of the former infrastructure into devices which stimulate the ecology. Developed over time, they can react to the dynamic changes in the ecosystem.
