      • our purpose

        our 3-month mission in Rio’s summer focuses on co-creating a brighter future

        We believe nature is the ultimate luxury, the highest form of well-being, and the anchor of regenerative civilization. The future is more connection and Rio Pop-Up City is the frontline of this vision: the first Network State community hub in Rio de Janeiro, designed to integrate global pioneers with the city’s unique cultural fabric.

        We propose a deep cultural immersion to understand the opportunities for Rio’s development and to experiment with building a city created by its participants conscious design, regenerative systems, and new social contracts built on trust.

        This is more than a temporary city. It is a rehearsal for a new civilization. Our first participants are invited not only to live this transformation, but also to become ambassadors of the years to come and members of the founding council of a city that begins here.

        Radical Participatory Design – by Coisas

        1ST PILAR

        The intelligence of the territory precedes any external intention. We do not “bring solutions.” We arrive to hear questions and build connections: Groups divided by cohorts of practice, with a maximum of 12 participants, to define the project, its sponsors, and the final sprint. This sprint takes place in the last 45 days and delivers what is defined by the group itself and its leaders.

        2ND PILAR

        A model for social transformation that begins with inner stillness. We adapt its flow of “letting go > presencing > letting come” through collective listening and reflection.
