«Détournement & hybridation. Gaps in the law»

In a more and more controlled society, rules, norms, security, obligation of performance… strongly impact basic architecture and tend to limit the role of the architect to the prescription of normalized items, in formated dimensions and materials, restricting the production of new forms or processes. Détournement of those legal aspects and hybridation with other disciplines for which the same norms do not apply (ie landscape, art…) can allow gaps in the law for invention and creativity.

Microclimax is a creative practice founded by Carolyn Wittendal and Benjamin Jacquemet, working on the social and human relations in urban or rural environment, in public or private space. Their interventions are living processes defined by action rather than style. The site, the uses and the User are the bases and the matter of their projects. The forms are not pre-defined but vary with the context and develop by producing interaction with their environment. Microclimax uses sampling, absurdity, diversion, collage, recycling, provocation, etc as tools to produce hybrids of art, architecture, design and landscape and to set poetry in function in the reality. Microclimax biography enlists numerous participation with distinction and awards at different architecture and design competitions.
