System Thinking
The complete system thinking research and case studies can be found on the group website [here].
Buildings, cities and infrastructures must become indivisible components of a constantly regenerating and self-sustaining ecological system. We have explored how new design proposals can be integrated and contribute positively to the natural processes around them, reading, interpreting and translating into actions the complex and multi-scalar relations between human and non-human actors and forces as well as pre-exiting systems and elements. We have also place focus on materials, exploring their aesthetic, cultural, atmospheric qualities and values and the way they are used and combined, becoming parts of the regenerative system.
