Reconstructing a Practice

Restauración colectiva de los techos de hierba marina en Læsø
Vote ahora

Durante siglos, los recursos locales determinaron las tradiciones constructivas de la isla danesa de Læsø. Al vivir aislados, los habitantes desarrollaron una artesanía con los materiales disponibles, como los tejados de paja con hierba marina que llegaba a las costas. Aunque los conocimientos históricos y la artesanía están desapareciendo lentamente, siguen representando un valioso patrimonio y tienen un gran potencial ecológico. La propuesta presenta un atractivo taller en la isla, que despliega el proceso de construcción original y abre un momento colectivo de revivir y reinterpretar la técnica inicial del techado de paja.
