World Monuments Fund (WMF) is now accepting proposals for sites looking to strengthen their resilience to climate change, share their knowledge, and plan for the future through the Cultivating Resilience program.

The workshop will be held in Abruzzo, near the town of Morro D'Oro (TE), in the heart of the Vomano Valley. The participatory design and self-construction activity will have as its ultimate goal the creation of two different wooden artifacts. The first one will reconnect the paths among the Abruzzo olive groves to a spring historically used by villagers and for years, though functioning, fallen into disuse. The second structure will be a mobile installation, towed by tractor, serving the public activities hosted in the olive grove.
Participants will work and be hosted by the charming oil mill Frantoio Montecchia (Frantoio Montecchia), that overlooks the land, a center not only of production but also a place open to the public for recreational and cultural activities.

The project is organized by Depo Pergamon, Meydan Architecture & Design, Strüktür and Poçolana Works with the academic support of Izmir University of Economics and Yaşar University and the institutional support of the Embassy of Spain in Turkey and Bergama Municipality.

In Melbourne School of Design’s third Dean's Lecture of the year, founding director of African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town Professor Edgar Pieterse will explore how to create working and sustainable urban policy in the Global South. In rethinking urban policy, Edgar looks to Africa where emerging urban sustainability experiments are moving communities towards a more just and culturally welcoming environment.
