The project comprises a series of critical perceptions of various interventions on vernacular structures, found in mountainous villages around Greece. The scope is to creatively debate our current modes of design, construction and policy making in terms of sustainability in the building sector.

It is an ongoing art/science research that combines thought experiments emerging for unintentional observations of the built environment, with exploratory practices of embodied learning [in collaboration with the actor/artist Alkistis Voulgari], aiming to expand our collective perceptual and creative mechanisms.

The first part presented here, is the initial effort to understand the reasons-why we constantly choose to compromise on arguably unsustainable practices, without even realising that we do so.

“Making sense” is thought to be a kind of making (poiesis, ποιεῖν), that can shed light on the need for a holistic understanding of sustainability in architectural production.
