Transforming the urban landscape
WORKING WITH NATURAL ELEMENTS
The aim of ‘A Vila da Maña’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another may be possible. This is achieved through the leading participation of local girls, boys and teenagers who, working with the fundamental concepts through tactical urbanism actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.
In this case, the landscape is worked on, looking for the interaction between the built, the more natural and the intermediate territories. Understanding how people build and modify the landscape and how we inhabit it and it builds us and our identity.
With all this, a colorful mural is created thanks to the colored geotextile envelopes, into which soil, water and the seed bombs are introduced and which will gradually be complemented by the green of the plants born, prepared by themselves.
COLOUR YOUR CITY
The city/village in which we are working has been turned into a playground, a laboratory of experimentation where children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
