Concept

_Work concept for Indigenous Design (10/13/2026). Inspired by Aulets ' vision for architecture, but taken to another site: it is not copied._

The idea

Aulets reterritorializes construction: building again with the earth, stone and wood of the island. Indigenous Disseny can reterritorialize material culture and the gaze: re-read the objects, crafts and landscapes of Mallorca as design, and put them back into circulation.

Differences with Aulets (so as not to copy)

Three own tools

1. Triad on each card: each job in the atlas is read as territory material technique form. Why the palm is in Artà and Capdepera, why the fang is in Pòrtol.

2. Map of knowledge, not just resources: where each knowledge lives (town, workshop, person) and which one is being lost (teules, brodats, cistellia...).

3. From abandonment to use: look for “abandoned” crafts and materials that can once again have contemporary use, such as Amarar con el pino.

For the project

  • Organize the Atles also by territory (regions and landscapes), not only by material.
  • Propose a collaboration or conversation to Aulets, instead of replicating their work.
