Abstract Details

2020, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Every place has a history, but not every place has a future. What happens to a place once its time has run out is usually always a mystery and this mystery grows when the reason a place loses itself is sparked from tragedy. In certain cases, these places struggle to hold on to what once was, or an attempt to rebuild happens. But in other cases, these “lost” places are overgrown and forgotten, leaving the areas to disappear along with all the memories and stories of those that lived there. Rather than follow the requirements of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) program will be used to better solve the current underlying and possible future issues that the mining causes. By creating a palimpsest landscape using the future terrain created by surface mining along with aspects of historical pieces of the borough of Centralia, the new overall landscape will be able to play homage to the town, while helping clean up the surrounding areas and waterways, and contributing to Pennsylvania’s growing tourism sectors.
