Chão is a project for temporary occupation of derelict or transitional urban spaces through activities conceived according to the specificity of each location. The main objective of Chão is to create ephemeral stimulation cores that encourage such use of space and that reveal what is added and what remains in the city that changes, when that change is dictated by the full and actual experience of its space.
