reCITYing

Project that promotes the regeneration of unused, closed or private urban spaces and buildings into artistic laboratories open to the city and cultural incubators.

With IAAC students (MaCT 02, MAA02, MRAC02), a hands-on sequence was designed and facilitated in Parc Agrari del Baix Llobregat that combined land art, field-based prototyping, and biomaterials research: students planted a crop-based intervention, then developed circular design strategies to transform agricultural “waste” into biomaterials for a rural installation, completing the life cycle of the plants through new objects and artefacts. The work culminated in the project Unveiling Stories, including a set of biomaterial objects (e.g., kites, lamps, fans, pots) and a short zine documenting the production process, delivered through a collective effort with the Urban Sciences Lab and local partners.
