ARCHIBÜSE
Garessio, Italy
A placemaking and rural regeneration intervention born from the Petites Folies School. Realized in one week by 13 European students through a self-build workshop, the project revitalized the public space of Garessio's castle. The work creates a new belvedere (viewpoint) overlooking the Ligurian Alps and redesigns the area with specific furniture. The use of local wood (chestnut) and dry assembly makes this micro-architecture sustainable and reversible. More than just an object, it is a pilot project for pedagogical architecture that uses collective "making" to activate territorial resources.
