Design Workshops at Boisbuchet (France)

In collaboration with the Vitra Design Museum and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, the C.I.R.E.C.A. organises every year a series of interdisciplinary summer workshops.

Participants from all over the world live and work for one week with renowned architects, designers and artists at the Domaine de Boisbuchet, an idyllic country estate in the Southwest of France. The aim of these courses is not to produce a "perfect" product, but to offer insights into design processes and the challenges involved - challenges to think rationally, work imaginatively and display manual dexterity. The courses on offer focus on the practical, creative work and range from very concrete topics to questions which have purposely been left open. In the evenings a versatile accompanying programme is offered with lectures, discussions and general leisure activities. The extensive park-like estate of the Domaine de Boisbuchet is perfect for jogging and rambling, and a private lake invites for swimming and fishing.

The cost for a one-week workshop including full board and materials comes to € 695 for students and apprentices. Other participants pay a fee of € 925 (prices do not include travel to and from the site). The ten-day courses cost between € 1150 and € 1650 for non-students.
