Mi Casa Es Tu Casa was an architectural installation built within the EASA Festival in Fredericia (Denmark). The theme of the festival was hospitality. We wanted to experiment with the idea of a public home both as a functional space and as a symbolic welcoming place. Again, we proposed to build a pavilion with a camera obscura that would invite people to go inside and experience a new relationship with the landscape of the harbor.
The experience of being tutors at EASA in Fredericia was among other things, enriching, fun, challenging, rewarding,… and windy, very windy! Despite the many difficulties regarding the construction and placing of the project, we were extremely lucky to have a group of students that engaged enthusiastically on every step and demonstrated resilience, professionalism, and human values that made the workshop a form of cooperation much worth repeating.
