Process Embodied

Running as World Building

published • 2019-2020 • Chihuahua, Mexico • MLA Thesis, Harvard GSD

For the landscape architect, the Tarahumara cosmology and way of life, is best understood and embodied by their practice of long-distance running.

Running is an entry point to a rich array of tasks that deal directly with place and contain a wealth of wisdom derived from a life embedded in natural processes.

These tasks encompass agricultural practices, ceremonies, crafts, and social organization forming a rich tangle of relations between human and non human beings and their environment.
