Following industrial decline, the mining town faces both spatial vacancy and fractured cultural narratives. Although mining relics and alley textures retain historical depth, fragmented circulation and isolated nodes have led to dispersed collective memory, making it difficult to construct a continuous spatial experience and coherent reading of place.
This project proposes “landscape stitching and sensory linkage,” redefining the site as an integrative platform at an urban scale.
Materiality: Exposed concrete, weathering steel, rough stone, and timber are used to reinterpret industrial character through coal-black and mineral-gray tones, rearticulating the site’s genius loci.
Spatial Form: Layered roofscapes echo surrounding ridgelines and tunnel imagery, while sectional variations embed viewing, exhibition, and resting functions within the terrain.
Narrative Path: A permeable alley system introduces light and landscape, transforming scattered relics into interactive cultural nodes.
Through spatial reconfiguration and adaptive reuse, the site becomes a place-based platform for cultural exchange. Integrating past and present, it extends mining heritage into contemporary life, stimulates tourism and the local economy, and supports the sustainable regeneration of regional culture.
