In the crisis of a landscape fire event, the residents of a Greek community were accused by the government for the immense loss of life and the destruction of environments for irregularities allowed by the state mechanisms in the past decades. In the emergency of climate change, the project investigates the increasingly destructive nature of fires in Greece and the failure of the state to address the possibility of such disasters. Looking at a series of case studies, this investigation dissects the mechanisms of the Greek state for fire prevention and suppression. By recomposing information, it aims to expose the framework of the government’s historical response in such crises and put forward a proposal that citizens could use to hold the state into account for its actions. A grassroots strategy shifting from the macro scale of the territory to the micro scale of structures is used as tools to demand transparency and accountability of the state failures in the face of disasters. The project urges the redefinition of the assessment of vulnerability and proposes an alternative engagement between the state, it’s citizens and the environment through the architecture of knowledge sharing and a social contract based on maintenance and care.
