#constructlab

cet été à La cuisine à Nègrepelisse, avec Constructlab. Le plein de partages de nourriture, de pensées, de gestes constructifs. “Le cours de l'eau, la cour et l'eau", 10 jours d'atelier intensif pour amener l'eau de l’Aveyron tout proche jusque dans la cour du château. Dans le but de réconcilier le bâtiment avec son environnement, l'équipe de Constructlab, l'équipe de La cuisine et une trentaine de participants ont construit un paysage aquatique et réfléchi au territoire, à l'eau comme ressource et à la cour comme espace public. Une belle rencontre avec un lieu, des personnes et des idées pour continuer à diffuser des réflexions sur les nouvelles écologies nécessaires, sur les nouvelles manières d’apprendre depuis l’architecture et le faire ensemble.

Osthang Project: Summer School Main Hall by Raumlabor, with tutors: Atelier Bow-Wow and ConstructLab

The Osthang Project – International Summer School and Festival for Future Modes of Living Together took place in summer 2014 on the underused plot of the Osthang, located amid the historically significant ensemble of the former artist colony Mathildenhöhe. As Summer School and festival it brought together knowledge and experience from architecture, social and political science, economy, activism and art, as well as experimental building and experimental forms of living from around the world [...]

We invited 60 students and interested people to participate at an experimental building workshop from July 7 to July 27 2014 in Darmstadt. During three weeks we are offered the participants of the Summer School the opportunity to develop a temporary campus for the Osthang Project along with international artists and architects. The structures were built over the course of the Summer School and subsequently became a platform for further Osthang Project events. The site of the summer school was available as a public space and a venue for projects and initiatives in Darmstadt and the surrounding region. Realized were a central square, a Main Hall, an Info Tower, a Cafe/Kitchen, a Workshop House and three Cabins.
