ReCITYing workshop

Faculty and workshop lead for ReCITYing, a Creative Europe co-funded project focused on regenerating unused or closed urban spaces into open artistic labs 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.
