This project explores the intersection of ecological healing, community revitalization, and the restoration of lands scarred by past injustices. Through architecture, it envisions a landscape where human hands can mend both the earth and society, using sowing as a metaphor for growth and renewal. Central to the project are fields of wildflowers and bees, representing ecosystems that nurture biodiversity and ecological balance. The fieldhouse, designed for capoeira, becomes a space for cultural expression and community building, where movement, music, and nature converge. By focusing on these fields of flora, fauna, and human activity, the project highlights the transformative power of restoration, where past scars give way to new life.
