PLACE-LISTENING and IDEA-SEEDING RESIDENCY

24 — 27 October 2024

How do we reimagine ways we may co-habit a place that contribute to the world-of-many-worlds, making it more habitable for all life beings and re-enchanted?

In search of ‘spaces of the possible’ Foresta Collective is landing in an oasis of wilderness in northern Spain, with an intention to cultivate and slowgrow (with) a place for regenerative culture(s), multispecies gratitude and symbiotic worlding.

In autumn 2024 we invited a small group of architecture practitioners to come together, dwell and get to know each other in and with this place — as an informal get-together to seed ideas and visions, a collective moment of possible serendipity, a creative and critical togetherness.

Participants: Je Ahn (Studio Weave), Matthew Dalziel (Atelier Dalziel), Anna Maria Fink (Atelier Fischbach), Roman Joliy (Atelier POEM), Martial Marquet (Martial Marquet Studio), Francesco Lipari (OFL Architecture).

Following our inquiry into how space becomes home together with this residency’s participants we reflected on possibilities of how ideas for regenerative architecture(s) could unfold as a situated practice, for this place to become a home (as well as a temporary guest-site) for plants, animals, humans and other life forms.
