Welcome to the 3d season of Woods in the Sound: ARCHITECTURE(S) OF CONNECTION and to this 4th episode: Material Gestures. This season we are contemplating and reflecting on regenerative spatial practices. Can architecture(s) support multispecies conviviality and contribute to cultivation of ecological futures? How to think the project of human inhabitation in present times of ecological imperative? What can we learn from vernacular, contemporary and emerging knowledges of spatial practices, as well as multilingual situated dialogues?
In this episode we are turning to material practices that suggest ways in which human-planetary relations can be rearticulated, in our efforts to build human spaces in attentive coherence with and within living ecologies. How does a material project become a project of connection?
