Festival of Lively Architecture 2010 - Call for Applications

On the occasion of the 5th FESTIVAL OF LIVELY ARCHITECTURE in MONTPELLIER, the association Champ Libre launches a call for applications to realize 10 installations.

The Festival settles in the very heart of the city of Montpellier, it will thus take place in the Escutcheon and more specifically in the courtyards of private mansions. Therefore it will propose a journey to visitors, sort of an architecture discovery in the middle of the city.

This way the goal of the Festival in Montpellier is on one hand to open up to the inhabitants, during the festival these emblematic places and on the other hand – thanks to the interventions of teams or creators who will present a specific work in each and every place – to reveal an intimate relationship between contemporary architecture, installation and heritage.
