Presented by What Design Can Do Mx GNP

Where do we design from, and how does that place transform what we do?

Samir Bantal, Santiago Arau, Desiree Ibinarriaga, and Alexis Georgacopoulos, director of ECAL, bring together different perspectives to explore how territory, geography, materials, and cultures influence the way we design, build, and imagine.

Through architecture, design, photography, and situated practices, this conversation proposes understanding territory not just as a physical space, but as a source of knowledge, resources, identities, and new ways of creating.
