Numen/For Use (AT)

Making Flying Spaces

August 7th – August 13th 2016

The Workshop

Participants of this workshop develop a spatial structure using accessible and low-tech materials. Our goal is a re-interpretation or invention of an analogue, hands-on technology for installation production that results in the realization of a parasitic attachment to an existing building or natural structure. Participants will develop individual solutions and details with scale models and formal languages that emerge from the technology they use. The final installation shall explore the altered experiences of Boisbuchet’s visitors and question the health and security regulations that nowadays dominate the architectural production.

Since 2008, the collective turns its focus towards configuring objects and concepts without a predefined function, an activity resulting in the more hybrid and experimental works such as the Numen-Light series and Tape, Net, Tuft, String, Tube …
