New Ruralism focuses on the landscapes of the Anthropocene, exploring several design methodologies to reveal its consequences, challenges and propose alternative scenarios.
We research the geographical, socio-economic and cultural forces behind the municipalities of Lerín and Lodosa, to hypothesize on the future production of a highly managed and cultivated Anthrome Scape.
This territories are shaped by the large scale water engineering required for its intensive agricultural production. We have used various cutting edge technologies, including drone based data collection, landform simulation models, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analysis and video editing software, as a way of documenting and speculating on these manufactured territories at multiple scales.
Through the production of a visual media product, we will uncover the local conflicts and reframe them within a global perspective to trigger debates and provoke the necessary ideas, projects and resolutions required.
