The aim of ‘A Vila da Mañá’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another one can be possible. This is achieved through the protagonist participation of local children and adolescents who, by working with fundamental concepts through tactical urban planning actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces. 

In this case, you work with the space, being the body that travels and plays in the spaces with all the senses deployed, through the experimentation of light, texture, colour, sound… transforming public spaces into common ones.

“But the line hides among its other properties, and ultimately, the deeply hidden desire to procreate a plane, thus becoming a denser entity, more closed. […] When the line dies, at what point does the plane emerge? […] By basic plan is understood the material surface called to receive the content of the work. […] The schematic basic plane is limited by 2 horizontal and 2 vertical lines, and thus acquires, in relation to the environment that surrounds it, an independent entity.”

Kandinsky
