By viewing infrastructure as an artificial ecology, natural forces such as pressure and temperature are affected through extreme human intervention. Post-industrial Katowice, Poland is home to a vast system of coal mines which fueled the expansion of the country in the late 19th century. These now dormant coal mines will be explored and intervened with to operate as a dynamic, responsive and multi-scalar system; continuously interacting with natural forces. The goal of this thesis is to identify the importance for infrastructure to solve the current issues of environmental degradation, climate change, and energy production/consumption of the present condition of the facilities to influence change in the regional and even global scale. These explorations begin to pair three spatial formats: productive surface, civil conduit and programmed container to form a symbiotic coalition between nature and urbanism– production and consumption. Flaws found in the relationship between the current mine system and the natural environment reveal opportunities for architectural solution with the introduction of micro-ecologies. The implementation of vessels to interact with the current man made conditions will mediate the detrimental affects through the creation of increasingly complex synthetic ecologies. Each vessel responds to the difference in the natural forces based on the depth of the tunnel, dictating various functions thus informing program. This type of adaptive landscaping will catalyze change in a regional lens by introducing energy production, research and agriculture.
