ArchiCAMP 2O12. First édition

'Nativ and Lomé, capital city of Togo (West Africa) will host ArchiCamp 2012 for an [Hub*]City. Intensive workshop in situ, conferences and excursions will be organized in order to create architectural design for African "Hub".During three weeks, three multidisciplinary teams will join forces with the ‘techies’ of the city to design propositions about settlement and shape. The work will be presented to city council, local officers and financial partners. An original way to build sensible eco-projects which blend with the city.

ArchiCamp is open to young professionals and students in every subject linked to Architecture and Urbanism (designers, architects, graphic designers, artists,…
Information, registration: contact@lafricainedarchitecture.com tel: (+33) 699334247. Sénamé Koffi A.
Camper will have to work on innovative layouts of the premises, closest to the reality of the city of Lomé : Traditions and Dynamics. Resources available locally. Renovations ? Transplantations ? Nomadic or permanent installations ? Economical and sustainable anyway. These incubators for technological projects will be real ‘digital lungs’ able to relieve and put a new life into selected areas.
Emulation during the ArchiCamp and presence of many experts will enable ‘Nativ to configure the first FABLAB in the frenchspeaking African area.

'nativ? In Lomé, ‘Nativ organized an « urban reporting » contest. This preliminary mass consulting was run to avoid arbitrary choices for the layout and the modelling of the Hubs. That’s how we could think about future spaces for meeting and working on ICT. Not set and closed but interactive, well-located and sensible. The purpose is to consider the burden of urban problems in the day-to-day life of Togolese people as it has been related by the contestant blogger. Further than this concern for democracy and reality in situ, the purpose was to federate and interest the blogosphere to the whole of the proposal which ‘HubCity’ of the Summer will be the result.

* We use the word ‘HUB’ to group every manner of co-working spaces, including hackerspaces and fabLab. Those spaces are generally dedicated to meetings, discussions and sharing for development of projects related to Information and Communication Technologies.
