Caretaking

Mexico
Amend walls with recycled wine bottles and homemade bio-cement, cultivate community garden and terraces, clean and decorate domestic spaces… This project is rooted in an anonymous building in Mexico City, and seeks an alternative to redefine the beginning and the end of architectural design. It is an attempt to learn from people, from the quotidian, and to provide an alternative literacy for architectural authorship that lives in the acts of otherwise unnoticed, 'everyday' care. This design agency is then captured and transcribed with a series of tools such as photogrammetry, data processing, 3d printing and plotting, etc.
