"Urban footprints" is a rereading, a reinterpretation of the traces that the human being leaves on the territory. The ancestral way from which we left our traces on the territory was the architectural and urban construction of cities. These urbanizations generated uses and new customs, the fruits of a growing, industrialized and capitalist system, and the waste, the remains of that growth, accumulate day by day, consolidating the traces of a civilization that is the result of accelerated growth.
"Urban footprints" uses the waste that is found and collected in the cities, which has been accessed through community collection systems to generate links, ties and community in pursuit of a better city and a better use of waste.
