Microclimate Maneuver

After the Lakeview Power Station was demolished, the land left behind was classified as brownfield, which refers to severely contaminated soil. This thesis project remediates the soil using the microclimate zones near the site, which include parkland, reserve land, and open water. The architectural intervention is the structural support for this soil remediation maneuver. It defines different microclimates and builds connections among them. The intervention aims for long-lasting impact on the landscape.
