The Chilean project worked on the endemic species stored in the seed vault in Vicuña to look at the future from the point of view of ‘ecological remedy’ of the damage man did to nature. The exhibition is presented through a collection of 250 seed-full spheres, mostly with low or no germination capacity – that tell stories of hope and care. These seeds will be used by Chilean architects to face the main urban challenges of the future. In particular, they are using species that can colonize highly degraded damaged soils and restore ecosystems that have been damaged by natural disasters as well as landscapes devastated by anthropogenic fires.
