Design often begins with a plan. Life rarely does. Adaptation and flexibility are essential strategies for survival in nature. Improvisation has long been practiced across many disciplines—from jazz and experimental theatre to anthropology and ecology. In these contexts, creation unfolds through interaction with the environment rather than from a fixed script. Anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss described this approach as bricolage: the ability to create with what is already at hand. This workshop adopts a similar mindset.

Led by designer Lucas Muñoz Muñoz, the workshop explores improvisation as a design methodology. Participants will begin without predefined objectives, allowing objects to emerge from the materials, situations and constraints encountered along the way. Instead of working from detailed drawings or predetermined specifications, they will engage directly with materials available on site—remnants, offcuts and overlooked resources.

Throughout the week, participants will assemble, transform and reinterpret materials found at the Domaine and in its surrounding landscape. The resulting objects may take the form of furniture, tools, spatial devices or hybrid artefacts responding to immediate needs. They may appear provisional or unfinished, yet they reveal processes of adaptation and invention rooted in their context.

The workshop is intended for explorers, free spirits and those willing to work without fixed plans.
