METHODOLOGY

Fieldwork & Walking
Each investigation begins on foot. Transect walks, repeated visits across seasons, on-site observation. Walking reveals what data cannot: the rhythms of seasonal occupation, the discreet boundaries between uses.

Mapping & Cartography GIS analysis, archival cartography, hand-drawn maps, co-created itineraries. Maps are both an analytical tool and a way of giving territorial knowledge back to communities.

Archival Research
Territories are palimpsests. Museum collections, municipal archives, family albums, postcards  (photo: courtesy of the verzasca photo festival)

Workshops & Co-design
Hands-on residencies with local craftsmen, communities, and researchers. Knowledge is produced through doing.
.

Conversations
Each investigation passes through exchanges with inhabitants, craftsmen, planners, farmers. Participation is not an outcome but a method.

Architectural Interventions
When research calls for it, findings translate into built form. Tactical rather than monumental, seeding change rather than imposing it, working with vernacular techniques and local resources.
