The Summerschool Rurapolis is an offsite programme of the ÉNSA Versailles in collaboration with the University of Oviedo and LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre, developed during the Laboral Impulsa residency programme. It is also an integral part of the NO-CITY open inter-university educational programme. The Summerschool Rurapolis will be structured around a series of lectures with well-known personalities at European level, and prospective explorations of the territory where the students will be sent on different paths in order to discover on their own way the multiple post-industrial, peri-rural and natural landscapes of Asturias.
Then, small architectures/artefacts/totems made of raw earth and mixed techniques will be developed on a former mining site in a small village of the Valle de Turón in the centre of Asturias. The training will be carried out by a team of professionals. At the end of the stay, the collectively designed architectural objects will host a cultural and festive event, making the reactivation of neglected rural and post-industrial installations on this territory possible and attractive. The Summerschool Rurapolis is open to architecture students and to anyone interested by the thematic.
