Ground(s). Mapping, Designing and Caring: Towards a Convivial Society

This contribution reports the results of the international conference ‘Grounds’, where the topic of grounds was discussed on three levels: Mapping the ground(s) means the act of description: how can we produce knowledge that reveals the relationship between humankind and the environment? Designing the ground(s) involves an active response to contemporary challenges: how can we imagine new rules and forms in the long term? Caring for the ground(s) encircles the act of prevention: a process of daily maintenance to generate a co-evolving relationship. Is it possible to strengthen (inter)dependency between the human and non-human world?
