Through artistic practices and informal participatory methodologies that reveal the city, we combine specific knowledge about local architecture and common practices, creating democratic spaces for discussion, decision making and action for city living, urban planning and collective initiatives.
Before any construction takes place, we believe it is crucial for every individual to reflect and discuss architectural processes, in order to contribute to common decisions and to their making/building, not having to depend on centralised bureaucratisation and institutionalisation.
We aim to trigger processes of participation and give agency to communities’ knowledge, prompting new perspectives on architecture towards a future city of the commons; here where the invisible, ephemeral and experiential can truly take place and contribute to democratic processes of urban planning.
We propose gatherings, artistic walks and collectively designed and self-constructed “knowledge huts”.
