TWM work on projects of very large dimensions in space and time, generally attempting to directly communicate with ecological systems by &#x27;seeding&#x27;  processes that trigger/restore/re-start addressable complex systems and their regulating feedback loops.Ongoing projects include &#x27;Re-Greening&#x27; the Sinai Peninsula, and the Eco Oasis system which combines several ecologically and societal relevant biochemical transformative processes including fresh water harvesting and sequestration of greenhouse gasses.This session looks at the potentials, challenges and vision of design with large scales - landscapes, ecologies, weather - the ambitions underlying these endeavors and as well the discoveries emerging of these time-bound processes.Ties Van der HoevenCo-Founder and Creative Director of The Weather Makers, Ties Van der Hoeven is an entrepreneur in the fields of sustainability, engineering, visualization and gaming. Mr. Van der Hoeven combines a background on hydraulic engineering and experience as project manager and business developer on large infrastructure projects.For more information on The Weather Makers work: <a href="https://theweathermakers.nl/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">THE WEATHER MAKERS website</a>Recommended pre-event materials:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBLZmwlPa8A" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GREEN GOLD documentary</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXofmMNdO6I" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ABOVE THE BONES</a>FOUNDATIONS seriesHosted by Carla LeitaoAny  act of design integrates the foundations that ground us by both  willfully ignoring and also actively relearning those foundations. The  concept of the Anthropocene - accompanied by the Anthrobscene, or the  Novacene - helped name and point at processes, contexts, figures,  diagrams and agents of the transformation of our ‘ground’.  With  these reframings, we begin processes of inquiry into how to inherit  pasts, inhabit presents and what to lay as groundworks or structuring  foundations for an uncertain future.The FOUNDATIONS Series asks what  layers will we purposely engrave, carry, remember and honor; and which  clean slates will we want to produce - which assemblies will we step  onto/into?Inspired  by the increasingly connected &quot;Spaceship Earth&quot; (as named by  Buckminster Fuller), the FOUNDATIONS series zooms into key moments of  written material, systems, ideas around world building, making and  thinking - proposing discussions on the new futures for life and  livability, envisioned for our shared planet and beyond.FOUNDATIONS is a series of events, convened by Carla Leitao, at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale Italian Virtual Pavilion, Sezione del Padiglione Italia, as part of the &quot;Space and Planetary Design&quot; group under the Creative Directorship of Ed Keller. The Virtual Italian Pavilion curated by Tom Kovac, RMIT University and Alessandro Melis Portsmouth University titled CITYX Venice responds to ‘How will we live together?&#x27; curated by Hashim Sarkis MIT, organized by La Biennale di Venezia. The exhibition is open until the 21st of November.@cityxvenice #italianvirtualpavillion  #cityxvenice #ivp2021 #labiennaledivenezia #IVP3”  CARLA LEITAO is an architect and writer living and working in New York, Co-Founder with Ed Keller of AUM Studio and Spec.AE.  Assistant Professor at Rensselaer Architecture  where she explores the intersection of architecture, urban systems, technology, ubiquitous cultures and emergent materiality through immersive environments (https://www.clatcraive.net/). Leitao&#x27;s work and events at the Venice Biennale are part of the &quot;Space and Planetary Design Group&quot; by Creative Director Ed Keller, for the Italian Virtual Pavilion.
