POSTCITY, First Floor, CAMPUS EXHIBITION @POSTCITY, located next to Open Futurelab OG1

Boundaries are constantly being changed, and those we find today may have already changed tomorrow. In a protected area of the Greater Lisbon area, aerial images are collected to build a map with open source software. These are shared through a website that is, itself, also a map, allowing for the visualization of economic, ecological and social while trying to see how well a territory / protected area is respected – “para mais tarde recordar” (for later recall).
