the project - combined residencies
The project 'Combined residencies' focuses on a change in mentality: to demonstrate that cooperation between architects, visual artists and designers at as early a stage as possible, benefits the interactive, creative process.
About 20 interdisciplinary teams took the supreme opportunity to undertake experiments with or take up the challenge of ceramics. Not only did they spend three months making use of all the facilities at the .ekwc that support the process of working with ceramics, but a technical staff was also available to provide guidance during the residency.
the procedure
Dutch and foreign architects, visual artists and designers were invited to form a team with a representative from another discipline; thus: an architect chose a visual artist and/or designer and vice versa. Together they submitted a project proposal. The project proposal had to relate to the use of ceramics in architecture and to have any kind of artistic or technical innovation in mind. The underlying principle of the chosen structure is that at least one of the participants in the team would actually develop the project proposal during a residency, but in such a way that the partner was intensively involved in it from the start.
