The Makeshift Commons Project is a socially motivated design practice. We aim to enable communities to affect change starting from the grassroots scale by using an approach that combines:
+
+
Circular Ecologies
to ensure use the best practices to take care and work with systems of nature.
Commoning
to promote community wealth building and resource management.
Design Expertise
to transform needs and desires into tangible built projects.
The starting point for us is to identify ecological resources that need protection or opportunities for closed loop systems.
Then we work with or create communities of interest to become collaborators and stewards of these resources. These communities are usually those who use, manage, and take care of ecological resources.
