Geometric for the people is the name of one of Ctrl+Z’s research programs with more than 20 constructed prototypes. It includes small and big structures made of a wide variety of materials, but independently of those aspects, they all have the same importance. Each one of them represents a step to advance along a single path and to achieve the objectives that underlie all the proposed actions:
– To collaborate with a community that is already working on a territory, providing them with new facilities.
– To advance in the research of this kind of structure, experimenting with new models and learning by implementing them in real situations.
– To improve the knowledge transfer protocols by adapting them to a real a community.
