This design project aims to rehabilitate the green possibility of the Snowdown coal mine, which was once the main centre of the Kent East Coal Mine but has been neglected since its closure in the late 1980s. The coal mining industry is considered one of the leading causes of environmental pollution from the development stage. However, there is a risk that the surrounding land and water quality can deteriorate even after closure.

Therefore, to flexibly respond to climate changes such as drought and temperature rise facing the Kent area along with these environmental problems, the project intends to expand and preserve the ancient woodland at the bottom of the site by strengthening the connection between trees and mycelium.

It also aims to improve the soil quality in the site with mycelium blocks using agricultural waste, growing carbon-sequestering crops such as mushrooms to prepare for climate change, enabling local economies, residents, and habitats to coexist. Through this approach, ecosystems can be supported while building a green infrastructure, simultaneously preserving the local natural culture and heritage.
