Honorable Mention

Collectif Etc

Collectif Etc is a group aiming to experiment with alternative ways of producing space for people as social and ecological solutions.

About Project

Place des Possibles is a participatory construction project that turned an outdated textile factory in a small village into a cultural space through cooperation between local residents and experts.

Instead of a large-scale construction with a huge amount of upfront cost, the project was conducted in a gradual manner based on a cooperative design with small budget. Also, local actors participated in the entire process.

This project transformed an old metal ventilation equipment into furniture, while designing a new sign of the building out of an old metal panel. This work developed through resident workshop, presenting a new direction of sharing design.

Judging Comment

A bottom-up initiative through a multi-pronged approach, a strategic design innovation project based on the reuse of waste in the Indonesian slums of Bandung.
