Crafting Interspecies Care is a spatial design pedagogy guided by Willow Wisdom. Aimed at renewing curiosity for human-ecosystemic imaginaries and interspecies relations, the project proposes a spatial participatory learning experience rooted in interspecies care and regeneration, while critically challenging and “composting” dominant anthropocentric hierarchies in search of alternative coexistence. Guided by the wisdom of willow - a keystone tree native to both the Netherlands and Croatia - a growing BaskeTree method offers seasonal, embodied and reflective workshops for architects, designers, and communities. Aimed at reimagining spatial design as a living and nurturing multispecies practice, each workshop explores sensing, learning and co-crafting with(in) willow ecosystem in reflective spirals, re-weaving humans into their roles as caretakers of the broader ecologies they belong to.
