This project redefines housing as a regenerative system that integrates waste, ecology, and habitation. Located on the southeastern edge of Madrid, the site is shaped by three conditions: conflicting urban fabrics, the informal settlement La Canada Real, and long-term contamination from waste treatment facilities.
The project reveals and reorganizes marginalized populations and infrastructures as active components of an operative urban system.
The proposal introduces a growing loop infrastructure, where waste is collected, sorted, and transformed into construction resources. This process establishes a circular system that supports incremental spatial growth and on-site production.
Structured as a ring-based framework, the project reconnects territories divided by infrastructure while enabling diverse forms of dwelling. Residents actively participate in construction, production, and ecological remediation, forming a self-sustaining system that links human and non-human habitats.
