About

Overview

A one-month architectural and artistic itinerant residency for a pair composed of an architect (or state-qualified architecture graduate) and/or urban planner and an artist (any discipline). The pair will design and deploy a lightweight mobile architectural module through Montpellier South to propose new forms of public occupation and reactivation through the lens of tactical urbanism.

Residency Objectives

Collective utopias: imagine a mobile architectural module as a tool for territory activation and community encounters, workshops, and collective creation
Resourcefulness: promote reuse and recycling of materials
Itinerance: reinvest public space through body and movement, inviting slowness and experimentation
Emergence: explore margins, social adhesion, and changing uses of public spaces
Creating place: propose pauses, crossings, and meeting spaces through ephemeral public space design
In common: create links with local actors and invite the public to participate

Accommodation & Support

Residents will have access to workspace at ENSAM and the Maquette Workshop (ATM) for module development. During itinerance in Montpellier South, a base will be provided at the Fabrique M28 in the neighborhood's heart. Logistical support, creation guidance, site visits, and mediation support are provided by MAOM and partners. Housing will be arranged in Montpellier South or nearby for candidates from outside Montpellier.

1,500 EUR residence grant per artist in the winning pair
Up to 6,500 EUR maximum for production and creation costs
