Manifesto for Ecosystem Living
New European Bauhaus High Level Roundtable member Michela Magas of the Industry Commons Foundation speaks with Jan Åman (author of the Duved and Norrlands Model), Jan Bunge (CEO, Squint/Opera) and Markus Zappalorto (TBA21 Academy).
Ecosystem Living transcends the idea of spatial planning, since the focus of spatial planning is limited to the physical space and not the complex interactions between cohabiting species.
Nor is it ecosystem planning because we do not seek to impose order, encourage extractive practices or create the conditions for entirely anthropocentric habitation.
How can we consider human beings and their activities to be part of nature and not separate from it? True ecosystem living is about harmony, alignment and balance, and finding an entire value network within a holistic cohabitation. This balance must synthesise and integrate artistic practice, scientific research, traditional craft professions and local cultural practices.
