Learning from the Wrong Places

July 29th – August 4th 2018

The Workshop

How can we escape a globalized (design) world in which all of us look at the same digital sources?

In this workshop we will study the agricultural surroundings of the Domaine the Boisbuchet to create a catalogue of references from which new objects, furniture, sculptures, or installations could arise. Participants will be guided through an experimental learning process from non-design educated entities. An erratic connection, an improvised structure, or an accidental space could be the starting point for a project that will generate a creative emancipation from our standardized contemporary culture.

If we keep looking at the same references, all local identities will be lost soon.
