The International Summer School of Ephemeral Architecture and Spatial Design “FestivaL’and 5.0” is announced. The Summer School will take place in 2024 from 22 July to 3 August in Valmiera, Latvia.
“FestivaL’and” is a summer school format developed in collaboration with the Valmiera Summer Theatre Festival (VVTF) and held for the first time in 2018. At the Summer School, experimental temporary architectural and design interventions become catalysts for significant processes of change in the urban environment. The Summer School is dedicated to the creative synergy of art, design, architecture, and develops as an urban laboratory, temporarily transforming certain places for the duration of the theatre festival, bringing them to life, offering unexpected experiences, changing perception and revealing the potential for new uses.
The Summer School’s teaching staff consists of lecturers, professionals in the fields of architecture, design and art with experience in both practice and pedagogy – lecturer, architectural construction technology and materials expert Krista Zvirgzda, architect and lecturer Edward Crump (Kingston University), architect Niklāvs Paegle (ĒTER), architect Rūdolfs Dainis Šmits (RISEBA), artist Madara Kvēpa (LMA), architect and researcher Dina Suhanova (LMA, LMDA) and others.
