Andries De Lange combines and activates collaborative designs, practical learning, and methods to raise awareness about consumption, material use, and community subjects. He believes that designing and building are means of connecting people and ecosystems, to address social issues in critical, and progressive ways. For him, design is about creating more emphatic futures for humans and non-humans, based on local materials and non-extractivist practices, that can regenerate different layers of society, through ecological, cultural, and joyful approaches.
