Infrastructures as method
A three-stage participatory strategy. Urban collectives a) analyse their territory b) critically assess their repertoires and organisations and c) design an infrastructural intervention.
Infrastructures are used as disruptive platforms, where alternative social and power relations are framed around the co-production of alternative spatial settings.
