SES_LOVE_KA TAILORED TO YOU
workshop for producing urban furniture with o. s. 3*2*1*0
Tuesday, September 18 – Thursday, September 20, 2012
A workshop for producing urban furniture led by architects from the association 3*2*1*0: Michal Mačuda, Lea Hawerlandová, Jaroslav Sedlák.
Minimum material and all tools needed for successful assembly will be provided on-site. Each day will include material collection (in the morning), design of the furniture, and subsequent assembly (in the afternoon), as well as releasing it into the public space and photographing it (in the evening). We expect a maximum participation of about 10 people per day and the construction of 3-4 pieces of furniture (group work). This program will repeat every day. Participation is possible at any time, as well as on a selected day. However, the maximum number of participants per day is 10 people.
The goal of the workshop is to create mobile urban furniture of unique design from materials found around the event location, bringing new and fresh functions to public spaces. Playfulness and creativity are a must.
If you have something that you feel is lacking in the public space, bring it with you, and together we will enrich Třída Míru.
We are happy to help those from outside Pardubice arrange affordable and comfortable accommodation! For more information and registration, contact:votocek2@gmail.com (Tomáš Votoček)
