Eco Lab Village is an urban strategy proposing a contemporary way of living together, encompassing ecological values and wellbeing. This thesis seeks to introduce a village typology in Berlin, inviting us to reconnect with nature by slowing down. Through a phenomenological strategy, community is created around eco-circular systems as hands-on experiences, all calling on our sensory sensibility.
