about
“
We are a collective researching the built environment through the lens of the eco crisis, organizing assemblies that accommodate a non institutionalised way of teaching, learning and exchange. We aim to challenge traditional education that lacks opportunity to question the cultural norms and examine architecture as something more than just a sum of its parts. Bringing ecological crisis and biodiversity loss in the center of every educational platform is one of our key goals.

The collective visited Isosaari during August 2021.
Then we said: The island of Isosaari offers a framework for communal experimentation and critical reflection upon the fundamental phenomena of contemporary settlement. Through the rituals of arrival, settlement, engagement and departure we aim to become aware of what we bring to the island, what we experience at the island and what we leave when we depart. How does Isosaari’s reality affect us and how does our various realities affect the island?
This time: Since winter 2023-2024 the water infra connected to Isosaari got damaged and public transportation was cut. As we are interested how rhizomatic structures relate to loss and change we would like to know how the island is doing and how our relationalities collide. As a collective we organize a series of events around Rhizomatic thinking and architecture. The collective consists of people who got to know each other through the network of EASA (European Architecture Students Assembly). The assembly has been founded on the values of alternative education and awareness around hierachies within the field of architecture. With our work we want to wider explore and define what this means in the current age of the ecologigal catastrophe we witness and actively take part in. We aim to challenge traditional education that lacks opportunity to question the cultural norms and learn to recognize the rhizomatic and entagled nature of the field. We hope to open a discussion also outside the architecture community and invite different perspectives.
