Limmat - The Regenerative Weave MA Design Studio, WISE 25/26: Carbon Scenarios (Case Zurich)

The project Regenerative Weave addresses the fragmented open-space structure of the study area by proposing a strategy that reconnects dispersed landscapes and urban voids. The project aims to weave together fragmented open spaces and establish spatial and ecological connections between the Water Park and the Agro Park. Through this regenerative weave, vacant and underused spaces within the urban fabric become opportunities for ecological restoration. The proposed system supports soil regeneration processes within these urban voids, allowing the landscape to gradually restore itself. The generated soil is then used for soil restoration and long-term maintenance practices, contributing to the improvement of ecological performance and the resilience of the urban landscape. Weak points in open spaces and ecological services were identified, leading to the selection of two project areas that imply different spatial interventions accordingly.
