Camposaz 48:48 | FLSE - Wooden Self-Build Workshop , Bergamo / Italien

 

Camposaz lands in the historic spaces of the former Legler factory, now home to the Legler Foundation for the Economic and Social History of Bergamo, with a new self-construction workshop.

The initiative is part of the broader urban and cultural regeneration process of the former industrial site, a symbol of Bergamo’s industrial heritage.

For ten days, an international group of designers will inhabit and transform the site through self-built, site-specific wooden installations, in dialogue with the identity of the place. The workshop aims to be a first concrete gesture toward reimagining and reactivating new uses for the area.

During this intensive 10-day experience, a selected group of international designers will live and work on-site, collaborating in the design and construction of wooden installations that respond to the context and spark new imaginaries for its future use.

The event is part of the wider regeneration process of the area and aspires to ignite the first spark toward opening the space up to new possibilities.

 

Camposaz is a 1:1 scale design and wooden self-build workshop focused on creating architectural objects that engage with the landscape and its inhabitants.

The call is open to 10 designers from diverse backgrounds and professional experiences, who will be selected and guided by the Camposaz team throughout the ten-day design and construction process.

The aim is to form a temporary group capable of integrating creative and practical processes to produce a cohesive work. During the workshop, participants will create wooden structures inspired by themes provided by the organizers and the local community, while developing an environmentally-conscious, hands-on, and context-sensitive approach.

 

The workshop is for free.

To participate we will only ask you to join Camposaz association: the membership has a cost of 15€, which must be paid online before the workshop and it's valid for the current year, which will provide insurance coverage for the entire duration of the workshop.

During the workshop we will sleep in the garden of the Sport Hall with tents. So, make sure to bring your tent, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag. Main meals (breakfast-lunch-dinner-snaks) will be provided by the host! 

 

Applicants will be selected based on a short motivational letter (max 200 words) and a project that reflects their architectural approach (max 1-2 A4 pages).
