Saprophytes Architects, landscape architects, visual artists, builders and
graphic designers, the Saprophytes have been developing artistic and political
projects around social, economic and ecological concerns since 2007.
We claim a relational aesthetic that emphasizes social experience as a founding
artistic and constructive act. For Les Saprophytes, the process of collective
fabrication of the project is as important as its finished form. Seeking the
specificities and potentials of each place, our projects of micro-urbanism, of
concrete urbanism, weave their way between the scales of territory and express
themselves through different types of actions.
INSTALLATIONS
ephemeral installations, surprising urban objects that go out to meet the
inhabitants of cities to question the uses and meaning of public spaces.
DURABLE
Long-term actions on specific territories aiming at constituting groups of
inhabitants-builders of collective projects for their neighbourhood.
CONSTRUCTION
Construction or help to self-construction of furniture, small architecture,
public space or scenography. Source image Saprophytes Source image Saprophytes
