urbanism as a collective language

Manisfest

'“We defend the right  to joy, to space, to safety.
We plan from the sidewalk up
we listen before we draw
we connect people, places, and powers that are often kept apart
we are here to build tables, open door, and shift narratives
Mangue is design as resistance
planning as care
urbanism as a collective language”.

studio mangue is the thinking space of Vivian Gomes, an urban designer, facilitator, and educator exploring public life, care, and connection through urban design, cultural storytelling, and collaborative experiments. Rooted in the idea of manguezal, the mangrove as an ecosystem of coexistence, this platform is a place to think in public, share field notes, and invite collaborations that imagine more connected, life-rooted urban environments.

urbanism as a collective language

studio mangue é o espaço de pensamento e prática de Vivian Gomes, urbanista, facilitadora e educadora, formada pelas paisagens costeiras do Nordeste brasileiro e hoje atuando no Canadá. Inspirado no manguezal, entendido aqui como ecossistema de conexão, cuidado e coexistência, este é um lugar para pensar em voz alta, registrar observações de campo e experimentar, junto com outras pessoas, formas mais sensíveis, conectadas e enraizadas na vida de pensar o urbano.
