transforming the village
working with natural elements
The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.
In this case we work with sustainability, reflecting on the way in which we relate to the planet and making girls, boys, and teenagers aware that what is sustainable consists of a balance between what allows us to develop our lives and what does not compromise the survival of future generations. And so, realizing that we only have one planet with limited resources that must be taken care of.
We work with natural elements as a necessary tool, it is about the interaction between the built landscape and the more natural landscape, as well as the intermediate territories. To understand how people build the landscape and how the landscape also builds us.
Colour your city
The town or city in which we are working has become a playground, a laboratory for experimentation in which children and adolescents can act from a new point of view.
