"The designation of terra firma -firm, unchanging, fixed, and defined- gives way in favor of the shifting processes coursing through and across the urban field: terra fluxus. This means designing and planning slow processes, of long duration and global scale, while being prepared for intense and rapid disturbances at the local scale. The proposal experiments with new areas of opportunity in contemporary architectural thinking and reinterprets the conventional image to conceive it as contemplative under a new ecological aesthetic. The adaptation of architecture as an artificial habitat conditioned to these scenarios involves understanding natural resilience processes."
