Reuse the Kiln: apply for a 5-days design and build workshop

Within the suggestive framework of Munlab Ecomuseo dell’Argilla, Atelier mobile aps and Munlab organize a workshop oriented to the design and material construction of public-art facilities for the ecomuseum activities and the community.
The goal is to combine the creative reuse of waste material from the production line of the kiln and the public utility of outdoor furniture and devices.
Through a 5-days intensive workshop hosted in the outdoor and indoor locations of Munlab, participants will be immersed in a cooperative experience involving technical and artistic experimentation, shared design and a real construction site.
The main material will be clay, in the forms offered by the reuse of ‘waste’ materials from the T2D brick production line. The challenge requires the desire to get involved, to work with mind and hands, to share problems and joys with others.

Reuse the Kiln is open to a maximum of 15 students or recent graduates from bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs in architecture, interior architecture, design, landscape and engineering ​(2 credits CFU to partecipating architecture students).
To apply send a motivation letter and a 2 pages A3 portfolio to info@ateliermobile.org.
Deadline: June 28, 2024
The selected participants will be contacted by email by June 13. They will receive a detailed calendar of the activities and indications about accommodation facilities for an agreed price. By June, 20 applicants should confirm their participation by paying the application fee (Participation fee: 135 euro). More info in the flyer.
