The Care Hypothesis
Maintaining is the art of making buildings and milieus last by taking into consideration what repairs and maintains them, against the unbridled diktat of programmed obsolescence and over-consumption. Nature, too, can restore, and even save. How to resonate with such nature activating the potential for resilience and adaptability through repair, remediation and reuse?
Repair - Remediation
Operations that establish material and immaterial mending and recycling to accommodate the vagaries of passing time and daily life, while revitalizing what has been damaged.
Reuse
Operations that “remember forward” by reusing materials, buildings and infrastructures while modifying their previous uses. The aim is to propose new uses while contributing to the resilience of an inhabited milieu in connection with transcalar and evolving dynamics.
