ATELIERS D’ÉTÉ 2020

Énergies – Synergies

28 JUIN – 29 AOÛT

2020 célèbrera le 30e anniversaire du laboratoire de design et d’architecture le plus polyvalent et le plus réputé au monde : les Ateliers du Domaine de Boisbuchet! A cette occasion le Domaine accueillera les penseurs et les créateurs dont les travaux et les réflexions ont inspirées ces 30 dernières années de créativité au cœur de la Charente Limousine.

Ces designers et ces architectes, capables de relier les disciplines et les cultures dans des expérimentations excitantes et innovantes, emmèneront les stagiaires à explorer l’abondance que la nature et l’imagination des hommes met à leur disposition pour faciliter et stimuler la créativité.

For over 30 years, Domaine de Boisbuchet has organized an interdisciplinary programme of hands-on workshops, bringing together participants from all over the world to live and work alongside renowned designers, architects and artists — not necessarily to produce perfect results, but to gain insight into creative processes and the challenges they involve.
