A Constellation of Ecologies
Exhibition booths in poplar wood for the industry of recycled building waste followed a study on Platonic shapes and the Nonagon - the Science Center in Azores - and a nine side solid in 3d.
A matrioska of structural exoskeleton in shale stone powder and inner enveloping elements in repurposed plastic from electrical wiring waste suddenly enlightens. A womb and a whale.
To materialize the geometry of a future house, a shark, a drone or a car calls for the sudden revisit of Padre António Vieira's 'Sermon to the Fish' (urging the unbiased relation between arriving humans and indigenous in Brasil), here as a 'Sermon to the Waste from the Building Industry': "all aboard!".
Another thought is that people shouting to save the planet are on an extreme selfish endeavor. One should always thrive to save at least a galaxy, plus some neighboring ones. As a matter of community values. Shared philosophy. Here's the Milky Way as a cause to turn green, and as ethics of inclusiveness of the unknown (hello Humboldt! ça va Sloterdijk?) also save the near galaxies Small and Big Magellan Clouds (if not for the namesake of the Portuguese sailor).
