Next Thursday 17 October we invite you to Opening a Path, a day of conversation in action about architectural pedagogy in non-urban environments.
The day consist of two activities. We invite you to participate in both, but it is possible to attend one of the two, depending on your availability:
Walk with Bosque Real 16:00 – 18:00) in Casa de Campo in Madrid.
We walk through the forest. Through the mountain that hides a church, along the stream, towards the stone storehouse. From spring to spring, over the aquifer on which Madrid – on built-up water – sits.
Discursive dinner with ASOC and Alberto Rey (20:00 – 22:00) at ESTO Estudio, Calle Nájera, 13
We come to the table to share a dinner with local products and ways of doing things, designed and prepared by Alberto Rey. Together with Collectif Etc, Tirilab, Zuloark, Politecnico di Torino and all the diners, we will talk about how architectural pedagogy can be more situated and propose futures through collaboration, co-design and co-creation.
Opening a path builds on our experience in Architecture School of Commons (ASOC) and seeks to share its results (compiled in the platform) for the first time in the city of Madrid. ASOC is a collaboration of three collectives and three schools of architecture, in three different rural environments, together with local initiatives and students. ASOC has been working for three years in different environments: in 2022 in Drôme, France, in 2023 in Calabria, Italy and in 2024 in Thesprotia, Greece.
Below, we share the instructions and meeting point for the activities.
