The Warsaw Uprising Mound is a rewilded urban enclave on a former landfill, once a dumping site for post-WWII rubble. Over decades, it formed a 40-metre hill, later overgrown with vegetation that became a ruderal forest. The site was adapted into a public park, highlighting its ecological and symbolic potential. The Mound was thus reclaimed in three ways: by nature, symbolically, and physically by integrating the rubble into design. Once inaccessible and dangerous, it is now bustling with life.

The deterioration of the building required urgent intervention, initially meant to disable its interior until full restoration was possible. Instead, this became an opportunity: with less than 10% of the original budget, the project transformed the structure into a covered public space within historic gardens. By reconnecting urban pathways, highlighting its architecture, and fostering cultural life, it restores a shared sense of belonging, turning abandonment into community resilience.
