This project is an ecological research residence where natural science researchers are granted funding and time through the NSF to set up and manage the earth and water-focused biological and chemical projects. Researchers are given independent living quarters as well as access to and reservation of a designated area of the laboratory infrastructure to set up and analyze their medium- and long-term research. The project’s timeline mirrors the ecological reclamation of the quarry, as natural processes ultimately dissolve the architecture into the site, and human activity recedes.
