The Metamorphic City: Fungal Narratives for Ecosystemic Restoration

Lisbon, 2022


Publication for the Lisbon Triennale Millennium bcp Universities Anthology  

Terra, the 2022 Triennale looks into communities throughout the world to embrace our common home, planet Earth. How do resource depletion, socio-economic inequalities, and climate alter-actions intertwine at different scales? Terra is a call to action inspired by shared local insights from around the globe with the potential to transform the current fragmented linear system of cities-as-machines into a circular holistic model of cities-as-organisms. The result of a three-year-long collective exploration is an exchange of knowledge and practices that generously imagines a more sustainable future where new paradigms reinvent our ways of place-making on a globalised planet.
