The voice of the ones who stay
This is a project which gives a voice to the nature and workers of the Microcentro. It is a movement, a manifestation that unfolds throughout the streets like an ecosystem offering spaces of wellbeing and rest to those who are seaking to survive day by day in the heart of Buenos Aires.
A project that follows the traces of these two users to understand their needs and act accordingly. Which spaces do they inhabit? How do they inhabit them? And how can we accompany them in their movement?
Almost mimetically with the neighborhood’s own language, it unfolds and merges with the particular chaos fo the environment.

How to rest while learning among the greenery and coexisting.Both nature and the worker leave their traces—let us help them coexist as peacefully as possible.

If they can’t go towards nature.
How do we take nature closer to them?
Following their traces without obstructing their path—creating traces for them, but this time in green.
Spaces that, through reflection and sun placement, concentrate warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
This web configurator was developed for anyone to explore Savia’s system and to dispose every part as they want to. Customising new ways and bringing it to life. Savia begins in the urban area of Microcentro in Buenos Aires, but this show it can spread to any part of the world.
