PRECARPATHIA LAB
HOSTED BY METALAB
HOSTED BY METALAB
In the Carpathian region of Ivano-Frankivsk, mountains and forests meet fertile black soil. Wood carving, wool weaving, pottery and embroidery are still living traditions.
ADRESSING A SYSTEMIC CHALLENGE
Regenerative building is already part of this heritage: straw and clay plaster, the mazanka house, and toloka, when a whole community plastered a neighbour's home in one day. The challenge is to keep this knowledge alive and rebuild local material chains around it.
Makers, designers and craftspeople will work with earth, timber and natural fibres, testing how traditional and collective ways of making can shape production today.
