Working with three-dimensional elements

“The opportunity for the child to discover his or her own movement is part of the city itself; the city is also a play space. The child uses all the elements of the city, all the built objects, all the surfaces he or she can climb or climb on. Children know how to play with these things very well, even if they are not allowed to.”
Aldo van Eyck

‘A Vila do Maña’ works with three-dimensional elements, based on Froebel’s “third gift”.
In architecture we have Froebel as a reference, through Frank Lloyd Wrigth who was educated with this method. It is a system based on the creativity and intuition of the child through direct experience, play and nature. It creates a pedagogical resource based on ‘gifts’ and ‘occupations’. The ‘gifts’ are pedagogical materials that do not change, but are transformed; the ‘occupations’ are activities in which children play by transforming the objects they manipulate. The ‘gifts’ are precursors of today’s building blocks.

Transforming the urban landscape

XARÍO

WORKING WITH NATURAL ELEMENTS

The aim of ‘A Vila da Maña’ is to change the model of town or city, we believe that another may be possible. This is achieved through the leading participation of local girls, boys and teenagers who, working with the fundamental concepts through tactical urbanism actions, become active citizens capable of transforming their spaces.

In this case, the landscape is worked on, looking for the interaction between the built, the more natural and the intermediate territories. Understanding how people build and modify the landscape and how we inhabit it and it builds us and our identity.

With all this, a colorful mural is created thanks to the colored geotextile envelopes, into which soil, water and the seed bombs are introduced and which will gradually be complemented by the green of the plants born, prepared by themselves.

For this role to exist, CHILDHOOD and ADOLESCENCE must reflect on their surroundings (the space in which they unfold their lives), their context and propose solutions for change, that is to say, become aware of what it means to be a subject of law and the importance that it can have its participation as an engine of change for the rest of society.

– ¡Ya cogieron a Alonso Ríos! ¡Por fin cayó el gran zorro!

Istas esclamacións cheas de gozo vesánico e outras polo estilo, con variantes faunísticas peiorativas, escoitámolas en Tui durante meses, dende o 26 de xullo de 1936, día en que as tropas sublevadas entraron na cidade, logo de vencer a resistencia das forzas militares e civís leales á República.

…

Dormín na casa do Iglesias. A iso da meia noite petaron á porta. A dona do Iglesias atendéu. Era unha veciña que pedía entrar. Decía que foran avisar á súa casa pra que fuxira, aconsellándolle do xeito ila repetía:

– Fuxe, fuxe, mais non borregues

…

A ista imprudencia sumóuse o seguinte feito, por certo ben cheo de riscos: dempóis que a Donata i a madriña do Guillermo se tiñan ido, eu fixen unha tentativa de impresionar ó Pepe de Vilachá. Díxenlle que me ía entregar ó cura de Vilameán de Tebra, xefe falanxista, aquil que nós metéramos na cadeia en Tui. O home espantóuse:

– ¡Non faga iso, que o matan!

…

Cando eu lle pedín a Pepe de Vilachán os meios pra facer a carta da miña suposta entrega, o Guillermo requiréu dil meia ducia de ovos cocidos, e acotóu:

– Veleiquí dúas resoluciós ben opostas: ti pides recursos pra entregáreste i eu pídoos pra fuxir.

…

Antes da noite cheguéi cerca da estrada de Tebra. Como escoitéi falar xente que andaba a traballar ó lado mesmo da estrada, pra non ser visto deitéime nunha chousa ante os fentos e sóio atraveséi prá outra banda xa ben entrada a noite. Ó pouco de camiñar sentínme canso. Busquéi un total axeitado pra deitarme e pasar o resto disa noite i o día seguinte.

WORKING WITH THE LINE

“To inhabit, for the individual or for the group, is to appropriate something. To appropriate is not to own, but to make it one’s own work, to mould it, to shape it, to put one’s own stamp on it. To inhabit is to appropriate a space […] By this term [appropriation] we do not mean ownership; instead, it is something entirely different; it is the process by which an individual or group appropriates, transforms into their property, something external.”
Henri Lefebvre

‘A Vila do Mañá’ emerges from the right to the city, as defended by Henri Lefebvre, so that the people who live in it have the right to enjoy it, to transform it and to reflect their way of understanding life in the community. From this point of view, how can we not include the right of children and adolescents to their city? For this reason, public space is considered a common space for learning and collective construction in which children and adolescents must also have a place.

“Every city has its own history, its own landmarks. I’m not only referring to those buildings officially recognised as important parts of the nation’s historical heritage. I mean, above all, the places that belong to the city’s memory — places that are fundamental to its identity, to the sense of belonging to a city. Whether it’s a factory, an old tram stop, or one of those grocery shops where everything was ingenuously displayed.”

Jaime Lerner

The right of children and adolescents to PARTICIPATE in the CONSTRUCTION of their TOWN or CITY as part of an ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP, in such a way that they are participants and executors of the changes in their surroundings.

For this protagonist to exist, CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS must reflect on their surroundings (the space in which they develop their lives), their context and propose solutions for change become aware of what it means to be a legal entitlement and the importance that their participation can have as a driving force for change in the rest of society.

The new generations, the inhabitants of tomorrow, do not know their town or city in its entirety, they live in a “small box”, they move to another smaller “box” and arrive at a bigger “box” (it’s called a school, shopping centre, sports centre, .. or playground). This is your relationship with your environment.
