Theme: Making History
On the occasion of the Bauhaus centenary, our workshops this summer pay tribute to the innovations which that institution spearheaded in the 20th century. We’ll honour its alternative research gearing up for society’s future, its interdisciplinary experimentation, and its brave optimism.
But different than in 1919, it is today, above all, the examples of nature, sciences, and cultures that are studied in order to develop sustainable products, environments, and services. Also at Boisbuchet we have defined these concerns as the principle reason for our work.
And something else has changed: Today’s designers, architects, and companies – as well as us as individuals – are no longer just realizing projects; right away we also deliver their contexts and stories. Re-presentation has become an integral part of ourselves and our actions. And as we can know what we are doing wrong, making history has never been so responsible.
Terms and Conditions for our competition are:
- Participants are at least 18 years old and inscribed as student in a university.
- This competition is for participants outside of USA (if you are in the US and wish to participate to win one of our workshops please refer to our competition exclusive for the US here: LINK )

- The two winners will be invited for 6 days to the Domaine de Boisbuchet in order to participate in a workshop of their choice – tuition, accommodation, board are included in the prize.
