The Exploration of a Multiform Space
Valley of the Possible, 2019
€7.250
Universidad Catolicá de Temuco, Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design (FAAD, CL), Cookies (NL) and Valley of the Possible (CL/NL) are starting a joint preliminary study into the design of a shared place for artistic development. Based on this study, they will re-evaluate and revitalise a remote valley in the southern region of La Araucanía in Chile. It is a location-specific space that, according to the applicants, does justice to the qualities of Chile, its (native) traditions and history. It is an inclusive place for the community, students and Dutch and international designers, artists, scientists and creative professionals. The results of the central research question will form the basis of the design project. The final phase of this study consists of the organisation of public programmes in Chile, supported by the university, to disseminate the results. Places considered for knowledge sharing in the Netherlands are Het Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam and the Design Academy in Eindhoven. The ultimate goal of the project is the realisation of this space, which will be partially built by the students of the FAAD, community members and participants in Valley of the Possible.
