Waste is a global problem; landfill is the worst way to manage waste. How can landfills be eco-friendly? How to design new landfills? How to treat historical landfills? This project addresses the above questions, using Westmill Quarry as an example site.

Depending on site conditions, three design strategies target historical, new and compost landfills. In the design process, physical modelling enables a detailed study of site morphology and performance. Experimental models aid in landform selection. User needs are balanced with the natural environment, resulting in a vision for the future site combining the three strategies.
