Abstract

In an era marked by ecological, social and epistemic crises, Design is investigated as a regenerative practice in dialogue with landscape architecture. This contribution introduces the paradigm of ‘an-cestral futures’, which reinterprets ancestral practices, Indigenous epistemologies and multispecies relations as devices for activating situated forms of futuring. Moving beyond modern linear tempo-rality, design is conceived as ecological attunement with temporal stratifications and the agency of places. The methodology integrates Futures Studies, more-than-human geographies and phe-nomenology of landscape, applying them to case studies on urban residual spaces and shared mi-cro-food practices. The Green Nexus Hub is presented as a device of landscape architecture capable of critically translating the myth of benign nature into practices of collective care, adaptive mainte-nance and multispecies co-agency, regenerating the Heritage Future as a living archive and ecolog-ical threshold.
