RECO+NATURE construction_ # 3 natural ephemeral structure
// workshop
WHAT The main idea of the workshop is to create performative prototypes which allow to reconnect the participants with nature working directlu with her. For that reason, we should say that the aim of this workshop is double. On one hand, we will analyse the environment, its vegetation, sounds, views, textures... so as to recognize it in order to create this spacial prototypes from natural materials that converse with the enviroment. On the other hand, we would have to carry out a creative work in order to convert the organic material from the space around the Festival into small installations that strengthen the dialogue with nature, learning to deal with creativity and techniques of construction at the same time and discovering the properties of each material and its way of use. We want to project and build together some small intimistic spaces from where participants and residents would be able to feel the nature and reconnect themselves with her through the senses.

METHODOLOGY/ HOW The workshop will mainly be an open space for collective experimentation. At the first moment, the group will work from the senses, listening, tasting, and feeling the places and its characteristics. Then, after sharing and discussing together the different ideas, we will concretize 2 or 3 structures by designing and building them. The division of the workshop in small phases (recognition of the place -design - construction) will allow participants to get involved at different moments of its development.
SCHEDULE / TIMING The schedule described could be modify depending of the number of participants: TWO days discovering the place TWO days defining the ideas to been build SIX days of costruction of prototypes

MATERIAL Besides the natural material found, different tools would be necessary to the correct development of the workshop: Hammers // Saws // Garden Scissors // Ladder // Drills // Bowls // Measuring tape // Cutters // Paintings // Brushes // Paint Rollers // Ropes // Rules // Pencils // Paper // ...
BUDGET The estimated budget of the workshop will stay inside the limits fixed by the organisation, it would not be superior to the 800 euros. Much of the tools would be share with other projects, only small pieces like screws, papers, brushes, pencils, ropes... will be specific of the workshop to the correct development of it.

// tutors BIO Having Lisbon as the inicial common point, little by little an Italian and a Spanish found themselves to carry out some ideas and experiments that join active citizenship participation, space and artistic recycled actions. The “De-jejum” project; each second Sunday of the month we make an open call for coexistence and critical-play experience of the city while sharing a breakfast cooked up by the participants. We use something common and simple as a breakfast to discover potencial public spaces to enjoy together. Every session ends with a artistic intervention to appropriate of the space where the De-jejum happened. Inés (Bilbao, Spain, 1989) studied architecture between Donostia- San Sebastián, Valencia e São Paulo. Nowadays works at Ateliermob in Lisbon. Member of the collective Arquitectura Se Mueve since 2011, which works around bioconstruction, recycling, network and participation projects. She has also participated as a tutor in 2014 IFAC´s edition, and developed iniciatives as “Nana nana na, na” (Spain) and Dejejum (Lisbon), working around the ideas of communities and its relations with the space, trying to reflect about the citizen participation. Mariella (Caserta, Italy, 1984) studied architecture between Naples, Paris and Lucca. Worked for 4 years in Milan and in 2015 won a financing to make a research in Lisbon about the architecture in the suburbs. Actually she lives in Lisbon where she is developing several self-construction projects and partIcipative actions in the urban public space. She is member of the italian collective Camposaz that organizes every year workshops of self-construction all around the world.
