La Banda dei Bandi: Camposaz Wooden Self-Build Workshop

The 2025 Camposaz Cultural Association workshop season kicks off in Southern Italy, in the small yet charming town of Conca della Campania, located within the Roccamonfina Foce Garigliano Regional Park.
The event is organized as part of the first edition of Mostra Mercato, one of the many initiatives of Borghi - Ruralità, biodiversità, innovazione grant. The workshop will take place in the town center, in close contact with the local community and the summer 2025 events.

Participants will build a series of mobile structures to support the market, with the ultimate goal of visually connecting the urban space involved in the exhibition. These installations, which will be entirely designed and built on site, may be inspired by the surrounding landscape and the three time periods that guide the selection of displayed objects: antiques, vintage, and modern design.

Who can participate:
Camposaz is a 1:1 scale design and wooden self-build workshop focused on creating architectural objects that engage with the landscape and its inhabitants.
The call is open to 12 designers from diverse backgrounds and professional experiences, who will be selected and guided by the Camposaz team throughout the ten-day design and construction process.
The aim is to form a temporary group capable of integrating creative and practical processes to produce a cohesive work. During the workshop, participants will create wooden structures inspired by themes provided by the organizers, while developing an environmentally-conscious, hands-on, and context-sensitive approach.

How to apply:
To participate, please fill out the online form by May 16.
Participation in the workshop is free of charge; only a €15 membership fee to the Camposaz Association is required.
Applicants will be selected based on a short motivational letter (150 words) and a project that reflects their architectural approach (A4 format).
Participants will camp near the construction site, so a tent, sleeping pad, and sleeping bag are required.
Main meals and transportation for additional activities during the 10-day workshop will be provided by the organization.

Interested candidates must complete the form by May 16, 2025:
