Rural Lab
The New Rural Lab is a space for research, teaching and practice that explores possible impacts of advanced geospatial analysis and modeling on rural territories. New Rural Lab is part of the Global Free Unit, a distributed network for research and education in contexts of rapid change with live project Classrooms all over the world.
FIELD Bio-arts Platform
Field uses grass as a material for engagement and proposition of inclusive ecologies, post-oil materials, colonial critique and resilient urbanism. In collaboration with Supermrin, Jessica Fertonani Cooke, Jil Berenblum and Ane Gonzalez Lara.
Mapping Climate Justice NYC
The Waterfront Alliance and ASWStudio are currently mapping how rising sea levels, future storm surges and extreme rainfall events may impact socially vulnerable populations in the tristate area. In collaboration with Christina Bierring, Independent Consultant to the UN & Waterfront Alliance.
New Tools for Geospatial Mapping
Extractivism and Ecosystem: Toolkit for Complex Contexts, 2021. Prototype of a split-screen dashboard for analysis and 3D representation, to drive solutions for large territorial planning and development. We retrofitted software to fuse a data sharing 3D representation with live research. In collaboration with Alejandro Haiek.
Nature Based Urban Design
Project lead on ecosystem services and nature-based solutions on this winning masterplan proposal for Almetyevsk, Tatarstan. An urban oil extraction context became an opportunity to use ecosystem services to remediate the landscape and transform it into a wetland park and cultural heart of the city. PL: Mary Tyulkanova, in collaboration with IQ, Graeme Massie, AECOM.
Territorial Research for Migration Crises
New Methods in Analysis and Design for Migration, where we use large-scale section drawings and models to show the full length of the Venezuelan-Colombian frontier, migrant journeys and their informal economics, and life in an arrival city in Colombia in its political complexity. As part of the project Sol y Sombra in collaboration with Global Free Unit and Alejandro Haiek.
The New Rural Lab
Research into The New Rural condition, 3D territorial modeling and autonomous development strategy for 650 hectare rural Art park and eco-tourism hub in the Ugra National Park, Russia. Including 120 seater cafe and visitor infrastructure masterplan, built collectively with local craftsmen using local materials and construction techniques. In collaboration with Artel Nikola-Lenivets.
