Maria Cecilia Loschiavo
"Excavations: the prototype of our urban future?"
What will our urban future be like, considering the serious degradation of our environment and the crisis of the technological age?
If the current tendency of the obsolescence and rapid discarding of products continues, very soon the public space of our cities will become large cemeteries of degraded objects, garbage of our technological and industrialized culture.
In these areas, one can dig for things, and, using this waste, set up survival strategies, thus constructing a new materiality and extending the life of products and materials.
Collectors, urban nomads, and the homeless have envisioned and created a collective and environmental friendly project of recycling, which contains a great deal of social usefulness and solidarity.
What is the value of looking at lifestyles, displacement, homelessness and the collection of recyclable material? What could we learn from the excavators and their experience?
