→ INTERMÉDIOS
"Intermedios", an open set of publications, in no pre-defined order, is dedicated to the topic of reusing recovered building components, one of the central approaches in the field of sustainability and combating climate change. The intermediate phases of the life of components are counted and, after a cycle of use, they are put back into use again. Not only the material aspects of reuse in construction stand out, but also the transition processes between design and implementation and the untold stories when it comes to reuse practices. The present condition of each component is seen as the intermediate point of use, in a holistic questioning of meanings, aesthetics, textures, values and emotions.
We are seeking references, stories, or image contributions from national Portuguese territory for potential inclusion within the project on the following themes:
1) "Construções/Auto-construções”: examples of distinct cultures of reuse in formal design or informal self-built contexts (these could be examples of complete constructions or simply isolated details).
2) "Portas”: examples of the culture of reuse through doors that explore the journey of these construction elements from previous lives towards diverse new applications.
Please share any suggestions or content to geral@nadanovo.org by 31st January 2025.
