Wild as in untamed, and still holding space for a transmission of the
ancient, the ancestral and the traditional knowledge, habits, rituals,
arts, ... rooted in a specific context and necessity, and therefore alive and authentic.



Generous through an approach that is process-based and inclusive,
dynamically anticipating to a fast-changing context, with as a main
aim to connect people, place, space and time.



Sustainable in a vernacular way, by translating globally available
knowledge to locally available resources and skills in order to
achieve low-impact, low-tech and climate-adaptive buildings.



Engaging by including elements that demand full community
participation and maintenance, thus evoking social engagement,
involvement, and most important local appropriation.
