MS Design and Urban Ecologies Studio 2 explored land as liberation, with water understood as a radical force of transformation. Water holds the potential for both abundant growth and profound destruction, shaping ecologies, histories, and futures. Grounded in the reclamation of space, recognition of memory and history, and community-rooted work, the studio developed radical visions for more just and regenerative futures.
Within this publication, you will find not only our methodologies, but also the work developed alongside our community partners, land lexicons, collective memories, and speculative visions. We invite you to join us in celebrating this cycle of learning, collaboration, and transformation.
