Mulletowning
High
above the dramatically exurban Appalachian “Hollow” company mining towns of
West Virginia, large new swatches of developable land are being created as flattened
mountaintop (ex)mining sites become dormant and reclamated. The dramatic
mining techniques particularly of the last quarter century provide a new
opportunity for the residents of these defunct mining towns to reintegrate with
their immediate surroundings as well as the larger socio-economic landscape. Mulletowning
posits an archi-infrastructural planning and design strategy whose impetus
is to redevelop these former mining Hollow communities through interconnecting
them with the reclamated mountaintop mining sites above, agglomerating passive
as well as active infrastructures, farming, marketplace, campus, and civic and
leisure spaces from which the community can develop in a sustainable and
interactive manner. As with the nature of the site, the viability of Mulletowning
is in its coupling of the seemingly disparate elements of urban and rural,
local and external, natural and social. Mulletowning is a stitch across
a wounded natural, socio-economic, and cultural landscape, positing a new
urban+rural framework for new post-industrial frontiering.
