Torrão Reimagined is an interdisciplinary workshop co-led by Jess Yu and Yibin Yu in collaboration with Foundation DaST, exploring sustainable regeneration and creative placemaking in the rural village of Torrão, Portugal. Through field research, speculative design, and site-specific interventions, students and young creatives reimagine the future of depopulated territories by engaging with local heritage, ecology, and community narratives.
