(RTL) Rebuilding to Last
Rebuilding to Last is a pioneer project, striving to inspire independent cultural centres to revisit their relationship with nature, with their communities and spaces within their walls, in their courtyards and beyond.
Our intentions
Our ambition behind the initiative is rooted in the belief that our cities should be profoundly reinvented. Instead of being a constant building site, they should become welcoming space for all living beings, humans and non-humans.
We believe that this could be achieved through a culture of "care" that implies continuous practice of maintenance, repair and self-repair of spaces and communities that inhabit them.
It is also deeply connected to a concept of 'coexistence', not just among human communities, but between humans and non-humans as well.
Together we are trying to imagine how we can make our spaces not only more long-lasting but also more aligned with our own values of living in balance with the nature, by finding synergies and solutions that oppose profit-driven urban planning and design.
