Blue-Green Master Planning
Lead. A working design framework for the next generation of industrial masterplans. Sites and districts planned as regenerative systems instead of as fenced-off facilities — the same logic translates from a single campus to a city-scale district where industry meets urban fabric. Developed with AFRY's Swiss industrial division.
The conviction. Industrial sites have historically been hidden — fenced, single-use, treated as zoning problems to keep at the edge of cities. The framework starts from the opposite premise: at the right scale and with the right adjacencies, industry can produce ecology and community as well as goods. Recovering water. Sequestering carbon. Growing food alongside power. Integrating into the cities and landscapes it borders. Blue for water systems, green for living ones — both treated as the spine of the masterplan rather than as landscape decoration around it.
Aquaculture — closed-loop fish and protein production, integrated into industrial water cycles.
Vertical farming — stacked food production sharing thermal, energy, and water flows with adjacent industry.
Industrial symbiosis — the heat, water, and material outputs of one process feeding the next, designed at masterplan scale instead of retrofitted later.
Waterfront regeneration — post-industrial shorelines converted into mixed ecological and civic landscapes.
