10.A Manual for Extraction
Atacama Desert,
Chile
Water and Land reclaimation
MIT, Techniques of Resistance
Taught by Rocio Crosetto Brizzio
This project addresses the environmental and social consequences of lithium mining in South America’s Lithium Triangle, where extraction depletes up to 80% of local water resources, threatening ecosystems and depriving communities of essential supplies.
The intervention is twofold: reclaiming land and extracting resources from the extractive process itself to return water to communities.
The project proposes a “Manual” detailing the creation of water recovery systems, such as adaptable fog catchers that collect moisture from natural fog and mining evaporation for agricultural and domestic use. It also outlines the construction of rammed earth structures from Atacama soil, which serve as protest platforms, define boundaries around mines, and provide communal gathering spaces. These strategies empower communities, recover vital resources, and promote environmental resilience.
