Water & housing
More homes can relieve pressure and deepen demand on wells, storage, and infrastructure.
A shared experiment in place
Descened
The Baja We Inherit
A living community map where history, development, water, livelihoods, and preservation meet.
“You inherit Baja. What will you leave behind?”
Descened is a communal planning game and story archive about the choices that shape Baja California Sur.
Visitors enter the same fictionalized coastal landscape. Together they move buildings, protect places, consider proposals, vote, and watch decisions affect water, work, housing, fisheries, nature, heritage, and resilience.
There are no perfect choices here. Development can create livelihoods and strain scarce resources. Preservation can protect shared landscapes and restrict opportunity. The work is learning to hold both truths at once.

Work & coastline
Tourism and marine projects can create jobs while changing access, dunes, and fisheries.
Heritage & change
A living culture is never frozen, but change can erase the places and practices that hold memory.
