New construction is no longer practical in the face of climate change , it contributes to pollution, the exhaustion of natural resources, habitat destruction, and architects must acknowledge that to continue building is to contribute to this issue.. In this project, we have reclaimed properties that contributed to climate change and renewed them into spaces that revitalize their communities and introduce a new way of living that is sustainable and beautiful. Plant Bowen, a coal plant in Georgia, Philadelphia Energy Solutions, a closed oil refinery in Pennsylvania, and Belpla Textile Mill, a manufacturing mill in Spain are our chosen sites, each representative of the problems we have caused and must face as designers and consumers of things such as fast fashion and dependence on fossil fuels.
