This project explores a speculative ecological intervention within the Doñana Wetlands, a territory currently under severe environmental pressure.

The project responds to the long-term impact of intensive strawberry farming in Huelva, which has significantly disrupted the natural habitats of species such as the Iberian lynx, flamingo, and rabbit. Rather than confronting the agricultural industry directly, the proposal shifts focus toward the industrial byproducts left behind by fertilizer production—specifically the vast phosphogypsum stacks present in the region.

By reappropriating this contaminated landscape, the project proposes the creation of a new, artificial ecosystem designed to alleviate pressure on the wetlands. Through the use of automated aeration systems and water treatment and dispensing robots, the site is gradually terraformed to support life. The remaining material is then repurposed into architectural signals and structures intended to guide displaced species back into a rebalanced habitat.

The intervention is conceived as temporary rather than permanent. Over time, human systems recede, allowing natural processes to reclaim the site. The project ultimately questions authorship, control, and longevity in environmental design, suggesting that sustainable intervention may lie not in permanent solutions, but in creating the conditions for ecosystems to eventually sustain themselves.
