PATHS OF CHANGE

The pre-existing structures are no longer useful to sustain our multifaceted educational needs, we need a better habitat to develop and grow within. We are forced to move our everchanging landscape to pave new routes, paths and structures that are better suited to our requirements. Yet to achieve this new path, we have to walk those old routes of change for such change to manifest.

“There are many interpretations and ways of understanding it, but walking is definitely not only about moving our feet in one direction. The practice of walking has been addressed by many authors, who analysed its multiple concepts and meanings through different perspectives: through an historical standpoint (Solnit, 2000), as a philosophy (Grós, 2011), as a socially engaged practice (Pujol, 2018), as an aesthetic experience (Careri, 2006) or as a spiritual one (Thich Nhat Hanh, 2015), among others. Walking is meditation and mindfulness. Walking is slowness and a way of travelling at a different pace. Walking is a tool for exploration and analysis. Walking is undeniably a natural engine and fuel that nurture our body and mind, a metaphor of our constant tension between standing and moving: one foot on the ground, the other one flying in the air, generating a constant balance between earth and sky, between past and future, between roots and innovation, between where we come from and where we are heading to.”

To recognise the impact of one’s immediate environment and move forward creating paths of change so that we can begin to change the way in which we inhabit a space and recognise how a space impacts our direct and collective experience. Yet to begin the process of change, walking, contemplating and reflecting is pinnacle in effectively evaluating how the space can evolve.
