Following the theme of its 2022 Workshops: “Repair Recharge Reset”, the Domaine de Boisbuchet is organizing the “Reviser les systèmes” competition which invites European students to conceive a tool, a service, or an environment that leads the user toward social and ecological behavior. The competition jury, which will select two winning proposals, is composed of Alexander von Vegesack, founder of the Domaine de Boisbuchet (president of the jury), Mathias Schwartz-Clauss, director of the Domaine de Boisbuchet, and two other prestigious professionals from the field of architecture and design.
The two winners announced will be invited to a one-week residency at Domaine de Boisbuchet to develop their projects. The residency includes access to Domaine’s workshops and archives, individual advice, board and accommodation, and a guided tour of the architectural park, and the current exhibition. The dates of the residency will be fixed in accordance with each winner and the Domaine de Boisbuchet.
