An approach to natural and human disasters of the present through Design for sustainable development in the future..
A Visionary Sustainable Future
We believe in a Humanity aligned with natural flows and eco-systems of the Earth, with a civilization based on three main bases: 1- Local Construction, 2- Local Resource Production & Management and 3- Energy, Water and Food Self-Sufficiency. It is time for experimentation and development of new economic, social and environmental models, in order to make progress in the use of the most efficient, profitable and null ecological impact techniques and methodologies, new forms and rituals for successful community development and human positive and regenerative impact. We envision the transition to Social Self-Sufficient Systems that work synergistically with the natural ecosystems and surrounding conditions.
