We seek to translate the hidden potential of places and pursue a new relationship between living creatures, humans among them. This methodology seeks to understand climate and geology — their performance, constraints and gifts — as the foundation for learning from the primary matter of landscapes over time, and generate new potentials for more alive, integrated and evolving landscapes in the present and future.
