THE URBAN ANTIDOTE | REMEDIATION CENTRE
by Lucy King
The Urban Antidote is a masterplan that heals through nature, by healing the soil to then heal the people. The scheme proposes to act as an urban antidote, through incorporation of a re-mediation centre for lung cancer patients, of which Naples have an alarming rate, a phytoremediation facility, to ‘heal’ the areas of the site that the soil is currently contaminated by the burial of toxic waste, and a pharmaceutical research centre that uses plants grown on site to test new chemotherapy drugs. The overall vision of this proposal is to create an urban antidote by providing a green tranquil oasis where the connection to nature is essential.
