Occupying a tree reminds some of us maybe to our childhood. But can we use it also a place to live? That question asked the group around Recetas Urbanas with their project the Insect house. The also developed a strategy for that intervention in the public space with they called the “Tick’s Stratagem”.

                   THE TICK’S STRATAGEM

-Occupation of a tree with provisional shelter.

-Resistance to urban politics.

-Light construction systems.

-Reversible colonization strategy.

-Dynamics of social adhesion.

-Lucid, but destabilizing, action.

-Instantaneous temporal sequence.
