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.

‘We look upon the geometric point as the ultimate and most singular union of silence and speech. The point is also, on the outside, simply the practical, utilitarian element that we have known since childhood. The outer sign becomes customary and darkens the inner sound of the symbol. […] The sound of everyday silence is, to the point, so shrill, that it imposes itself on all its other properties.’

Kandinsky
