Arquitecture workshops for young people (Maushaus)

This summer, the Basque Institute of Architecture is collaborating with Chillida Leku to offer young people aged 12 to 16 an interesting activity in the Zabalaga farmhouse. With the help of Maushaus, we will be moving the activity to this emblematic place for two mornings.

Coinciding with the Chillida exhibition from the Telefónica Foundation's collection, we will be taking a closer look at the personalities that the Basque sculptor was generous enough to pay tribute to on various occasions throughout his long career, with great art and skill, in gratitude for the inspiration that they provided for his own work.

Over the course of these two mornings, we will look at the architectural connotations of many of these works that speak of the sea, of cities, and of houses for great figures of thought, art and literature, in order to be able to create together on the basis of them and also to approach the work of the figures who inhabit these home.

Through dynamics and manual exercises of various scales, we will try to enjoy delving into the mechanisms of contemporary creation, without losing sight of the anchors to which it is often tied with emotional ties that determine the world we know and that often combine tradition with modernity. Participants will be able to approach the artist's works through drawing, paper collage, models or the construction of ephemeral artistic structures. The themes of the two days and the exercises to be carried out are explained below.
