Our goal is to find alternatives to the "Urban Exodus"
A concept that we created after seeing the historical phases of "Rural Exodus", when population fled the country side to go to the cities because of the industrial revolution, and now the one of the information revolution, populations returning to the less populated areas.

Spiral Petroglyphe
Pre-colombian Palenque

Solid : natural earth, stones of the site, earth bags, natural grout, bricks, adobe, ceramics...Light : metal, glass, wood, bamboo, textiles...
The houses have renewable energy and waste systems.
Solar, micro-hydro for electric needs. Natural gas and solar ovens for cooking.
White, gray, black water systems, "living machine" oxidation pounds. Use of efficient micro-organisms, E.M., to help the water cycle.
As well as other new technique that will be tested in the C.E.T. and applied in the constructions.

We also have an artistic activity with the artist group Arteologia , and the multimedia music group, On,...
