Society in the organization and transformation of its public spaces

08.Jul - 16. Jul, 2022 Cod. A04-22

Description

When we become aware of the importance of space in our daily lives and reflect on the power that space can have, a fundamental question arises: what is the power of space design and creation? And what is space production about?

In order to be able to think, discuss, research and learn about these questions, we will aim for an experimental structure by intervening in public space. For 10 days, participants in the summer school will have the opportunity to develop a temporary installation in collaboration with international artists and architects in the town of Zaldibia, in collaboration with social agents, associations and individuals.

The first main objective of this intervention is architecture and its creation, discussion, processes, research, etc. Although it is shared with society, the temporary “workshop” will become a space of open knowledge essential for a collective process of space creation, combining this with the academic, research and practical level.

As a Summer School and meeting place, it will bring together knowledge, experience in architecture, social and political sciences, economics, activism and art, as well as experimental architecture, different lifestyles and visions of the future called “utopias”.

As the first joint project of the RICU network, which has been set up for collaboration between different European universities, the 2022 course will be the public space in the rural area of ​​the Basque Country.

Objectives

This event will be the first joint project of the RICU (Research Institute for Concrete Utopias) network, which will be formed for the collaboration between different European universities. The aim is to work together to create spaces for academia, researchers and society to reflect, design, build and use together.

Activity directed to

  • University student
  • Students not from university
  • Teachers
  • Professionals
  • All public

Methodology

The course will have three parts:

The first will be theoretical and will take place at the Miramar Palace in Donostia-San Sebastián, with a conference and round table format. This section will provide space for internationally renowned experiences and professionals to explain their theoretical foundations and experiences. It will take place on July 8 at the Miramar Palace in San Sebastian.

The second part will be the practical part. This will take place in the town of Zaldibia, living in there for a week, July 9-15. The workshop will be based on the construction of an urban element designed and implemented by international architecture students, professionals and the people from Zaldibia. Based on the reflections made during this academic year in Zaldibia, a building will be designed and implemented to meet some of the identified needs,

The third part will be an open meeting to reflect on what happened in Zaldibia and to identify future lines of work. The results of the workshop will be brought back to San Sebastián, in this case to Tabakalera, on July 16. Participating students, citizens and professionals will conduct an open assessment of what happened during the workshop time.

So this Summer Course is made up of three courses, the most interesting of which will be participating in three activities; the theoretical bases coming from the international, receiving the praxis that will be carried out in Zaldibia and the teachings of praxis. However, these three courses will also be available individually.

You can register in one session or in all of them.
