Design Experiences for Coexistence, Santiago & Valdivia, Chile, 2020-2022

Abstract

Paisajes Colectivos aims to transform our perception and interaction with urban landscape. By adopting an open-ended design approach, responsive to the needs of diverse species and human communities, they suggest that design has the capacity to engage and strengthen the bond between communities and their surrounding landscape. This is achieved through ongoing activities focused on education, maintenance, observation, active monitoring and documentation of a collective project’s adaptation over time.
