SUMMER WORKSHOPS 2025
PRIVATE / PUBLIC SPHERES
JULY 6TH – SEPTEMBER 6TH
In today’s hyper-connected world our understanding of public and private spheres undergoes profound transformation. The boundaries between the personal and the shared have blurred and challenge our concepts of intimacy, time, community, or self.
This shift is not just a social phenomenon but a systemic change that reshapes the ways we interact, communicate and build environments for our lives. Design, in this context, proves to be a powerful tool that offers all means to examine, mediate and re-shape the world around.
This year, our workshops use design as a lens to interrogate these living spheres. By exploring the tensions and intersections between the public and private domains, we aim to develop situation- and site-specific responses to this complexity.
‘To change something, build a new model that makes obsolete the existing one’, said Buckminster Fuller, one of the great creative minds of the 20th century. Let’s come together this summer to reimagine and reshape our environments – it’s the time for connection and action.
For over 30 years, the non-profit organisation CIRECA (Centre International de Recherche et d’Education Culturelle et Agricole), organises Boisbuchet’s interdisciplinary program of hands-on workshops: Participants from all over the world living and working together with noted designers, architects and artists – not to come up with perfect results but to gain insights into creative processes and the challenges involved.
