AB The article describes, how a geomorphological design based on the original relief architecture (prior to exploitation), cancontribute to the ecological and landscape reclamation of an environment affected by a silica sand quarry located in the centralarea of the Iberian Peninsula (Spain). The reclamation procedure based on this design gives considerable importance tointegral geomorphological criteria (morphographic, morphodynamic and morphoevolutionary); this approach is designed tocomplete the methodologies applied in landscape restorations, by incorporating aspects of morphogenetic dynamics inaddition to the already habitual aspects based on geometrical criteria. This proposal also gives rise to a discussion regardingthe philosophy underlying environmental and landscape restorations, which often attach too much importance to revegetationprocesses or to strictly aesthetic considerations without taking into account the long-term evolution of natural systems, whichis chie¯y regulated by geomorphoedaphic processes.
