The Hambach mine is one of Europe’s largest and deepest open-pit coal mines. Humans have transformed the landscape enough to mark a new geological era. The mine symbolizes humanity’s power over territorial, environmental, and climate changes on a large scale. This work reflects on the IDEA League summer workshop hosted by TU Delft (Laura Cipriani) in collaboration with the Institute of Landscape Architecture at RWTH Aachen University (Frank Lohrberg, Silvia Beretta) and Politecnico di Milano (Antonio Longo). The goal was to develop scenarios and visions for the landscape transformation of the Rhenish Lignite District, Europe’s largest open-pit lignite mining area, located in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
