Supernature
The Design Summer School '23 theme FLOW is aimed to explore nature’s cycles, heighten our awareness and draw our attention to the tension between restriction and freedom, stagnation and activation, collapse and succession. During the three workshop weeks, the theme will be unpacked through an interdisciplinary teamwork method blending architecture, psychology, anthropology, technology, design, art, dance and performance.
During the first FLOW workshop SUPERNATURE, Gosia and Paulina together with the participants will look into nature and its superpowers. With the strong belief that everything is nature, including all kinds of waste or any technology - as it is always created from naturally occurring elements and assembled by man who is also a part of nature, we will get inspired by the vivid environment of the campus and the omnipresent natural cycles.
