No, we didn\u2019t just go crazy. We decided to answer the questions we are asking ourselves (about the possibility of cohabitating in an alternative way) through strong action: transforming BASE into a place of political presence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A group experiment exploring different forms of dwelling. Over the course of 10 days, 20 designers and students from around the world have lived in a campsite set up on the terrace of BASE, where they will share their practices and activate discussions on the theme of precarious living.

The notion of camping in tents as we mean it today originated in the early 1900s – between the two industrial revolutions – when the necessity to temporarily escape the grey atmosphere of the metropolis became a widespread urgency.

Tents, however, have also historically served as a symbol of protest, appearing in a variety of applications throughout history, including the Resurrection City of the Poor People\u2019s Campaign of Washington in the 1960s, as well as in the Nomadic Furniture project by Hennessey and Papaneck released between the 1960s and 1970s. The shared desire to collaboratively reshape the world and its fundamental structures is common thread linking all these iconic interpretations of the tent.

From April 12th to the 23rd, BASE Milano presented The Convivial Laboratory \u2014 The Camp<\/strong>: designers, students, curators, and cultural workers, lived in a campsite set up on the Terrace.

The Camp is a collective experiment that wishes to create a meeting spot, combining the energy of the protest movements occurring in large urban landscapes, with the soft power of the counterculture operating in wild natural settings.

We’re looking for new forms of coexistence and interdependence, based principles such as cooperation, democracy, dialogue between cultures, equal dignity, and ecological responsibility. Is it possible to create different forms of interdependent relationships, contemplating our behaviours, feelings, and spatiality? READ MORE ON THE EDITORIAL \u2197<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
