IN_SIDE  - 14th TOWNS (GORODA) architectural festival

 

 

CONCEPT:

This year the subject of the festival is ArchFarm space which includes natural environment, residential and non residential areas as well as its atmosphere of creativity.

The potential winner of the festival is the object which will implement the idea of the place, become an organic part of the ArchFarm body and reveal its inside nature.

15 objects will be selected from among other candidates and constructed during the summer. They will participate in celebration of the 'architectural harvest' 18th August.

All the participants have to use organic and enviromentally friendly materials. Artificial materials are allowed only if they are in strong need and have to be recycled by their users.

The object doesn't have to be an architectural form/sculpture/installation closely related to the place itself. It may consist of parts located at a distance from each other, be connected with the time of the day, season, may refer to info context and other intangible things.

 

We particularly welcome:

objects which are built with new techniques

interesting objects built at a minimum cost

clear and simple ideas behind the projects

care about the environment, nature, landscape

project completion is required

 

 

WHERE: ArchFarm which includes old urban buildings and natural environment around the farm and the lake
