"For a time of retirement in the middle of expanses that have become virgin."

Our project is set up in fields at the end of the harvest. These vast landscapes are then unoccupied and castles made of straw stand in the middle of the void. We want to take advantage of the time separating the harvest from the work of the soil by coming to live in the fields while the earth is resting. Like straw bales, our microarchitectures come dressed in coats made of agricultural tarpaulins. Temporary and seasonal, these places to live invite nomadism by questioning the notions of comfort and individual-collective habitat.
