Ideal Village

“Degrowth is not necessarily about building less, it is about building differently, according to social need rather than economic profit. It is about to challenge the development of high-growth cityscapes in favour of cultivating shared spaced that foster social bonding among people of varying classes, generations and backgrounds.” Maria Smith, Curator of Oslo Architecture Triennale 2019

According to Professor Anderssen from Harvard Atmospheric Chemistry Department, humanity has a very small time frame (such as until 2021) to stop dramatically our use of oil based products and carbon emissions. If we do not, humanity extinction will start. In that perspective and to enhance a resilient and regionally built environment, Ideal Village is exploring through a practice research process the themes of self-build & modular architecture
, such as citizen driven building and spaces that adapt to the communities needs. The other research theme is the inclusive and permeable community crafting where ages, origins and social levels are diverse and complementary. The third theme, biopolymers based value chains within building and interior design fields, will also be explored, define and refined within new speculative scenarios.
