JOIN A RESIDENCY
SIX LABS, SIX TERRITORIES, ONE QUESTION: WHAT DOES REGENERATIVE PRODUCTION LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE? WORK WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, CRAFT KNOWLEDGE AND MATERIALS. OPEN CALL COMING SOON.
Between a Mediterranean city and the forest that surrounds it. The Catalonia Lab works from Fab Lab Barcelona in Poblenou and Valldaura Labs in Collserola Natural Park, where rural building knowledge meets digital fabrication.
FULL LIFE CYCLE OF WOOD TRANSFORMATION
Barcelona designs with wood it cannot trace, builds with wood it will not repair, and discards wood it could remake. Meanwhile, a neglected forest burns at its edge. What if the full lifecycle of a material began ten kilometres away?
Designers, forest managers, researchers and craftspeople will build a regenerative wood practice, from the forest to the workshop. Objects drawn from Catalan joinery, made to be repaired, taken apart and remade, each with its own Digital Product Passport.
