Topoculture
With fertile grooves and wooded terraces, Topo-culture is a proposal that anticipates the closure of the Meirama Coal Mine and the emergence of a 200ha lake. Located between Santiago de Compostela and La Coruña, this vast industrial area is gradually transformed into an inhabited park where new areas of leisure and production coexist. This urbanism draws on the critic of the current reforestation models in the region priv-iledging eucalyptus and pine woords. During the competition most of Galician forest were burning. We proposed instead a robust reforestation pro-cess that plays with the topography of the mine and the establishment of a landscape of transfor-mation, production (resource management), and logistics (related to the expansion of the port of La Coruña).
Closure of the coal mine - new station between La Corona and Santiago de Compostela, new lake of 200 ha.

Topoculture
Sillons fertiles et terrasses boisées, Topoculture est une proposition qui anticipe la fermeture de la Mine de charbon de Meirama et l’émergence d’un lac de 200 ha. Situé entre Santagio de Compostelle et La Corona, cette vaste zone industrielle est progressivement transformée en un parc habité où coexistent de nouvelles zones de loisirs et de productions. Cet urbanisme puise à la fois sur un processus de reforestation qui joue avec la topographie de la mine ainsi que la mise en place d’un paysage de transformation / production (gestions des ressources) et de logistique (liée à l’expansion du port de la Corona).
Fermeture de la mine de charbon - nouvelle Gare entre la Corona et Santiago de Compostelle, nouveau lac de 200 ha.
Travail sur le sol (fertiliser, boiser, traverser)
