The Summer School — Ephemeral Agents is a new programme developed by Concéntrico × Distigmo, with the support of Pro Helvetia, bringing together three international practices — DU Studio, grillovasiu and PAV Living Room — to lead workshops for students and young practitioners.
Over five days, Logroño becomes an active laboratory in which to explore ephemeral architecture, spatial agency and the use of resources in a real context. Building on the discussion initiated at the Ephemeral Agents Symposium in Zurich, the programme proposes an intensive working environment based on experimentation, production and exchange.
Through workshop-based work, prototyping and a series of public activities, participants will develop spatial interventions and proposals in direct dialogue with the city and the festival installations. The programme combines design sessions, construction processes and moments of public engagement, culminating in the presentation of the results in the urban space.
