Cristina Rodrigues on sustainability.

I met this architect the other day, and she was talking about sustainability. What was interesting about her work was that she wasn't just making pretty things but was looking at the how we relate to architecture. This is a link to one of her documentaries   


In her words by forgetting the countryside we abadon what feeds us ..... we abandon people.Documentary on Desertification in Portugal


Her work is interdisciplinary and touches on some very interesting aspects of how we relate to the environment and about social care. 


This is one of those things that can only happen in Manchester. Everybody here is a part of a cause and is an activist of some sort. The best part of all this is that conversation isnt dull. 


I wish Cristina all the best with her work :)
