Local Resource / Collective Knowledge

Industrial construction erases our connection to place. Architecture in the era of globalisation often begins with the assumption of an empty site with little understanding of context.
Local Resource / Collective Knowledge asks how the tools of architecture can be put to use in more local contexts, and how the materials, traditions, and approaches of local communities can inform a more climate conscious global architecture. It connects local and global resources and communities of practice through mapping and the co-production of an architecture informed by local ecologies in Matanzas in Cuba, Veneto in Italy, and Jutland in Denmark.
