Camposaz 10:10 San Ginesio - Self-construction workshop in post-earthquake areas

The announcement aims at the selection of 10 candidates between architects, designers and wood carpenters who will take part to a design and selfconstruction workshop in a 1:1 scale.
The tenth edition of Camposaz will take place from Friday 7 July to Sunday 16 July 2017 in San Ginesio (Italy), a small town in the province of Macerata, inside the Sibillini Park. It is called “the balcony of Sbillini” due to its strategical location placed between the Conero seaside and the Appennino mountain range.
The workshop is organized in a land that has suffered material and social damages for the latest earthquakes that hit all the area of the Appennino Umbro-Marchigiano.

The project, that is lead by Camposaz, has two aims: to create functional street furniture, improving the use of public space in a city in which most of its space is interdicted, and to facilitate social participation and interaction, through the participation of some students of the design school “Renzo Frau”.
During the Camposaz week the participants will ideate and create wood installations, following the thematic suggestions provided by the organizers anddeveloping ecofriendly, practical and sustainable designs based on the relationship between the landscape and its inhabitants.

For this workshop the topic is the improvement of a public park, in the heart of San Ginesio, which will be a temporary substitute for the main public square which is now inaccessible for safety reasons. The installation to be built, which includes banches, playground and a platform, should be integrated with a concert stage that will be placed in the park during the entire summer period. This area will be the most important public space for the entire village. It will be the only leisure area in a village under reconstruction.
