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 it works with perception, that of the body itself and the environment that surrounds them. Understanding how they perceive their town, we try to provoke in girls, boys, and teenagers a new vision of everyday spaces, seeking to break with the familiar and so that they can see the same places with different eyes.

‘Diego did not know the sea. His father, Santiago Kovadloff, took him to discover it.

They traveled south.

The sea was beyond the high dunes, waiting.

When the boy and his father finally reached those sand peaks,

after so much walking, the sea exploded before his eyes.

And so great was the immensity of the sea, and so much of its brightness, that the child was dumbfounded by so much beauty.

And when he finally managed to speak, trembling, stuttering, he asked his father:

-Help me to look! -‘
