‘The city must be a place of waste,[…] the most beautiful cities were those where festivals were not planned in advance, but there was a space where they could unfold.’
Henri Lefebvre
Successful places should be considered those that allow for the unexpected to happen.
#DISPLAYZ interior design workshop will be an engaging hands-on workshop taking place in Athens April 1-4 2017, which will challenge the limits of everyday spaces in a creative, provocative way.
It will be a 4-day long ‘play’; the rules of which are to be bent/ twisted/ broken and displaced critically.
#DISPLAYZ workshop is organised under the auspices of the Erasmus+ program by Dr Anastasia (Natassa) Karandinou and Dr Harald Trapp, Senior Lecturers at the School of Architecture, Computing and Engineering / Architecture and Design, at the University of East London (UEL).* Guest tutor/artist: Eliza Soroga.
You will need a camera, your sketchbooks and drawing tools, your computer, lots of enthusiasm and passion for experimental design processes.
This workshop preferably welcomes advanced (3rd to 4th year) students of Interior Design, and especially those who are interested in pursuing a post-graduate program in the field (the workshop will also give the opportunity to get acquainted with UEL’s post–graduate programs).
