LWCIRCUS - CHINALAB019 - LANDSCAPE DESIGN METHODS BASED on SOCIAL PRACTICE
SHARED OPERATIVE WORKSHOP to create Ephemeral Installations, between public art and land art, realized onsite by the revisitation and assembling of recycled natural material transported by the changing channels system moods or coming from traditional way of building and hand-craft making.
A temporary international, multi-cultural and multidisciplinary creative community will test in the field of shared practices by using multimedia languages, artistic approaches and performative-spontaneous attitudes in the specific RURAL context, with the direct involvement of local actors and public institutions, looking for a RESILIENT and INCLUSIVE RURAL future, interms of responsible cultural valorization and sustainable development for the local community directly involved in each step of the operative shared process.
The activity will be in the XIXINAN, an ancient village in Anhui, China. Its exceptional landscape context and the main theme will be around the shared practice strategies in collaboration with the locals, looking to protect and valorize the village, the channel system and its cultural landscape’s value. The students will start by researching and testing alternative methods, working together with the locals community, administration referents, creative experts, local handcraft artisans and minorities.
The experiential workshop, based on research in the field, looks for operative sharing methods in collaboration with local communities and their relationship and coexistence with environmentally sensitive areas; investigates shared practices; looks for devices able to give long-term life through sustainable development; works for a RESILIENT and INCLUSIVE rural future forthe local community. It will represent an excellent opportunity for students that are looking to learn through a different way and methodology through designing sustainable cultural and sensitive landscapes, collaborating with different kinds of practitioners (as artists, architects, landscape architects) and people from the local community from multiple backgrounds and learning styles to gain mutually beneficial goals, achieving enrichment that benefits all participants involved in the experience. Finally the Shared Creative Workshop ChinaLab, will permit the participants to explore ancient classic Chinese Hui architecture, experience heritage village life that is over 1,000 years old, study traditional water canal system, unearth the mystery of Hui Sculpting and Wood Carving, visit the Wu Mansion, an ancient architectural mansion and discover the rich history behind Chinese ink painting and ink slabs. During the evening the ChinaLab019 Program includes a series of International Landscape Architecture Seminars and Open Lectures (ILARKS), organized to enlarge and promote the debate around the use of performative shared practices and multi media languages in designing our contemporary rural and urban landscapes, to help the building of even more RESILIENT and INCLUSIVE futures.
