Accustomed to responding to defined orders with finite processes, how can living matter re-examine us on our practices of production of objects and spaces? We propose to center our workshop around the mycelium, root network of the mushroom, material in positive, binder which comes to grow tocome to “cage” a plant body, along a structure, in a network or within the limits of a mould. The workshop could be organized around three main themes, at cross-cutting scales and disciplines, from granular matter to territory, fromwhich the studentswill propose a project: Process material The mycelium is a growing material that can be frozen temporarily. Returned to the appropriate humidity and temperature conditions, the material can grow again. The form can evolve the life cycle of the material being completed by a life cycle of the form, accompanied or random. Regenerative Material In the world of textiles or construction, research is being carried out so that the growing material can, thanks to the aforementioned characteristics, “heal” torn textiles, cracked columns, etc. The growing house Beyond the object-subject, we can wonder about the decor itself, which creates the conditions of life and growth of these object-subjects. We could also allow ourselves to dream of living buildings, growing and communicating. PRIMITIVEHUT By Leonid Slonimskiy & Artem Kitaev We see this Open Call as an urgent challenge for the new generation of architects operating in a drastically changing world, and therefore we propose an urgent tool for it. The topic of the work will be temporary minimal architecture of crisis as a tool of dealing with states of emergency: social, political and ecological crises of society today and in future. Housing Crisis Many people have been left homeless: because of the war, climatic crisis, personal economic reasons. The basic task of this workshop will be to develop a rapidly constructable housing module for people in need of temporary shelter and refugees. The housing unit should be thought of as an extremely affordable small scale building, assembled from building materials collected within a 10 km radius from the construction site. Students should consider using reused and easily accessible materials; the amount of scraps for the construction should be minimized; non-conventional solutions should be developed. The house should be able to grow: a system should be developed to add further modules as required. Estimated cost of materials will be part of the deliverables.
