In May 2007 the
renovation of the location was designed
by
Dutch architects Harms Timmermans and Stijn Kemper. In June the renovation took place - the adjustments
created an open space with lovely light in the attic, which
communicates with the terrace that at its turn is accessible from the
courtyard / garden. In July, with
a group of hard working artists and volunteers we have decorated the space. Since then, we hosted
two art projects, having hosted about twenty international artists.
In order to be able to offer the best funcionality for future
activities, we would like to design and make appropriate furniture,
so that we can use the space for various purposes: a shared
dormitory and a living / working / seminar area - downstairs and the
attic as a multifunctional living and working space upstairs. We think
of simple, light modules, bookshelves, small cupboards, chairs, desks - that can be placed in various combinations in
order to meet specific needs per project.
We will start the project with a visit to the Ethnographic
Musem of Transylvania.
Then we will visit a couple of
idyllic villages and the furniture manufactures in the area, in
order to
get an idea of the local traditional style and of the
possibilities of execution available. We will look for local wood, semi
fabricates and other materials we can (re)use. Together we
will design and make the furniture that will make future visitors experience a
confortable yet simple paradise at morisena.
