Matera 2019

The Open Design School is launching the second phase of the workshop for the design and the construction of the equipments for the events of Matera 2019, European Capital of Culture.

(deadline 03 September 2018)

According to the “Call for the creation of an open list of experts of Foundation Matera-Basilicata 2019”, the Open Design School will select a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 professionals to be part of this project workgroup.


RATIONALE ODS
The Open Design School is one of the pillar projects of Matera, European Capital of Culture 2019. The Open Design School is not a school. It will serve as a systematic tool for community-based skills growth, where learning takes place through a continuous creative exchange process between art, science, and technology. It is a horizontal platform, an interdisciplinary experiment space, with no
rigid hierarchies, where everyone learns from each other, in a climate of mutual enrichment. The ODS will design and produce the necessary infrastructure for the implementation of the 2019 Matera and Basilicata cultural program (stages, signage, lighting, urban furniture, temporary structures).
