The project explores the future of eucalyptus monoculture near Liuzhou City. Once planted as a fast-growing commodity species, eucalyptus plantations have become a global problem, degrading the soil and diminishing local biodiversity. Instead of completely removing the existing trees, this scheme explores how this plantation can be carefully transformed into a thriving forest, gradually lowering the proportion of eucalyptus trees. This is achieved by using its wood to build a series of amenities for nearby communities whilst adopting an agroforestry approach to restore soil and a biodiverse undergrowth.
