Intentional Uncertainties: Biobased Materials for Caring Relationships Between Communities and Landscapes
Eugenia Morpurgo

The presentation, through practical examples, offers a critical framework for understanding how bio-based materials, design, and use are intertwined with the relationships we establish within landscapes—understood as an ever-changing assemblage of humans and non-humans across time. It proposes that a necessary condition for embedding production within complex ecologies is a shift away from systems based on certainty.
