Architectural research project set in the Petlacalco Mine, on the outskirts of Mexico City, a landscape marked by ecological damage and informal occupation after years of mineral extraction. The project proposes a strategy of repair through hydroponic agriculture using tezontle as a soil-free substrate, allowing cultivation on degraded land while gradually restoring environmental balance.

A series of lightweight structures are placed across four areas, each responding to the site’s topography and enabling manual agricultural production with minimal intervention. Rather than erasing the traces of extraction, the project reworks them, reframing the mine as a productive and regenerative landscape. Extracción y Reparación explores architecture as a tool for ecological restoration and long-term environmental resilience.
