In Ekkoabit we explore the power of Place through new relationships between the senses and matter-energy. Through rethinking our relationship with the time-space of places we can develop new strategies that help us to be less vulnerable to the environmental changes that await us.
- To develop a strong sensitivity to the surrounding environment, what is close and recurrent.
- To deepen the experience of the diversity of local as opposed to the 'one size fits all' of global.
- To value the rites and traditions that identify us with the world.
- Revalue and stimulate the sensory qualities (sounds, smells, touch, taste, etc.) of biodiversity.
- Innovate with materials and traditional systems.
- Adapt and revalue vernacular and rural culture.
- To value the community aspects that identify us with a territory.
