The restoration of degraded landscapes or endangered ecosystems is another fundamental focus of Grupo Aranea's work. For too long, humans have oversimplified natural systems, transforming them into unsustainable environments incapable of providing the ecosystem services that guarantee minimum levels of well-being for the societies that inhabit them.

Reversing this simplification is key to restoring the balance of an increasingly less habitable territory and involves working with time and the uncertainty of biological processes.

Projects like the Saline Joniche Anthropogenic Park exemplify how, sometimes, our work isn't about doing, but rather about creating the right conditions for nature to act and rebalance ecosystems damaged by human activity. In this way, we become silent facilitators of the ecosystem, allowing nature to do its work without erasing our footprints, thus giving rise to new natural worlds.

This line of work is realized in industrial landscapes —such as factories, mines or quarries— that are reinvented as public spaces or facilities capable of enhancing industrial heritage through the search for ecological balance.

As you might expect, we work with water, the creator of landscapes, specializing in river landscapes and coastal landscapes.

Aranea is a leading figure in the integration of architecture and landscape. He has focused much of his work on large-scale urban regeneration and adaptation to climate change, participating in significant territorial transformation projects. His work continues to exemplify how architecture can heal and enhance the natural environment.
