Camposaz

The aim of Camposaz is to design and self-build wooden architectural objects for landscape enhancement.

Camposaz is a wood self-construction workshop in 1:1 scale. It started in 2013 with the ambition to promote interaction between disciplines and practitioners dealing with architectural design. The workshop is open to architects, designers, carpenters between 18 and 35 years of age. During the workshop, living in close contact, they have to design and physically construct small wood installations,

based on specific themes, aiming at enhancing the landscape. The team is usually formed by 12 participants led by a tutor and by local carpenters who can assist the construction process. The built project is site specific and it can change according to the conditions in which it is going to be realized. An important aspect of the workshop is the human scale, conceived as the specific scale in which the 1:1 model is implemented within the construction site. Our own body and our manual work should be considered expressive and measuring tools. During the workshop design and constructions are tight processes and proceed in parallel. The aim of the initiative is to condense in a unique experience immaterial and material aspects of the constructions process, enhancing the entire creative process. Knowledge sharing and adaptability are necessary conditions for a successful result. Camposaz is an open platform without hierarchies and fixed roles: it is an open source initiative in which everyone can bring his own contribution in the development of a process that has no pre-established direction. In this sense, Camposaz promotes different point of views and new design approaches in problematic urban locations, with the intention to develop a sort of “instinctive architecture” with no prejudices and with a lot of collaborative improvisation.

INNESTO

Militello in Val di Catania, Sicily
01st-08th October 2026

Landing for the first time in Sicily, we will focus on the historic UNESCO Late-Baroque town of Militello in Val di Catania. Our goal is to transform this area into a versatile "urban stage": a place for events and performances, but also a welcoming space where people can meet, socialize and enjoy the community atmosphere. Thanks to the community activities organized by FERMENTO URBANO, Macchia, and other local associations, we will find ourselves in a vibrant, dynamic environment—ready to cooperate and collaboratively create something unique for the village.

ROVERETO 54 : 54

Date: 03-12 July 2026
Partners: Rothoblaas

Pause the work.
Share a moment.
Make it matter.

Set within the historic courtyard of the former To***co Factory in Rovereto, the project reclaims a space once occupied by cars and transforms it into a place for pause, encounter, and celebration. The Manifattura was once a fully integrated factory, where to***co leaves were dried and processed into ci**rs and ci******es, and where generations of women workers, known as the “Zigherane”, shaped the life of the place.

The project introduces two structures facing a garden-like space, drawing inspiration from the forms and industrial traces of the existing context, including the chimney and the wheel. Together, they create a dialogue with the former factory, offering spaces for a coffee, a chat with colleagues, dancing and hopefully for partying too.

It was an opportunity to listen, to become passionate about the history of the place, and to share our days with people who eat imagination and creativity for breakfast.

Thanks to all who took part in it!

TONEZZA 52 : 52
PIAZZA 7 BRIGANTI

Place: Tonezza del Cimone (VI)
Date: 12-21 June 2026
Partners: Fondazione Cariverona
Ph: Dalma Tìmàr + participants

Not all piazze are visible.
Not all piazze are made of stone.
All piazze nourish action.

Situated in the garden of the public library of Tonezza del Cimone, in the hills of the Alto Vicentino, the Piazza 7 Briganti takes its name from the legend of the seven brigands, said to have founded the town. The project creates space for both refuge and renewal in an area facing dramatic seasonal population changes.
Spanning the length of the library’s yard, the project comprises five platforms, each with unique programmatic capabilities. The piazza is multifunctional, with spaces for reading, performing, spiritual reflection, dancing, eating, and making. The project also includes a new street-facing signage, guiding visitors and residents towards the space.
Building, laughing, and occasionally swearing together, the team forged meaningful connections, with one another and with the people and place of Tonezza.

PROGETTO MANIFATTURA

Rovereto, Manifattura Tabacchi
03-12 July 2026

The workshop, supported by Trentino Sviluppo, will focus on the outdoor space of the former Manifattura Tabacchi. After being abandoned, the factory has been transformed into a sustainability hub dedicated to researchers, start-ups, and collective energies. The inner courtyard is now a parking space, but has great potential to become a hub for local culture, meetings, and social gatherings, just a few steps from the village’s centre.

DOPO LE FRANE

Place: Modigliana (FC)
Date: 30 MAY - 01 JUNE
Partners: .italia
Ph: Participants

The Paper Log House (Shelter for Hikers) was developed through the collaboration between the Municipality of Modigliana, the University of Bologna and Shigeru Ban, 2014 Pritzker Prize Laureate, whose work bridges material experimentation with a commitment to emergency architecture. The project aims to provide a minimal shelter along the Apennine trails after the 2023 floods, within the festival. Camposaz supported the workshop as a technical partner, overseeing on-site tutoring and coordination. Built in three days in Panigheto, the structure rests on a modular base of fruit crates ballasted with sandbags, supporting a timber platform and a frame of cardboard tubes.
Designed to be achievable with essential tools and shared responsibilities, the build guided students from drawings to 1:1 decisions as the structure grew. The name recalls the Paper Log House system: a lightweight grammar in which paper and wood become hospitality.

The workshop will focus on the outdoor space of the Municipal Library. Today it appears as an empty lawn, but one from which it is possible to enjoy the view of the Dolomites.

COSTRUIRE CENTRALE

Vicenza, Ex Centrale del Latte
22-31 May 2026

The Camposaz 51:51 edition lands in Vicenza to breathe new life into the Ex Centrale del Latte. Once a symbol of industrial production, this site is being transformed into a vibrant multifunctional hub for social innovation, co-working, and culture. It is a strategic regeneration project that aims to return a vital space to the district.
During this 10-day workshop, we will focus our energy on the outdoor spaces, specifically the main square. Our goal is to transform this area into a versatile “urban stage”: a place for events and performances, but also a welcoming garden where people can meet, socialize, find shade and enjoy the community atmosphere.

LA SVOLTA 49:49

Place: Castelvetro di Modena (MO)
Date: 05 SEPT - 14 SEPT
Partners: .italia
Ph: Participants

La Svolta grew out of the encounter between Camposaz and La Svolta, a family-run organic farm on the hills of Castelvetro di Modena, along the route leading to the Sanctuary of Puianello and beside a bio-lake under construction. In a context unusual for us, yet particularly fertile, the workshop developed within a productive landscape open to the public, where nature, agricultural activities, and everyday movement coexist. In continuity with Camposaz’s approach, grounded in participatory design and self-build as tools for activating the landscape, the project took shape as a tea pavilion intended to host activities and collective moments. Circular in plan, the structure stems from the idea of creating a space able to foster interaction, rest, and sharing. Its load-bearing system is arranged along the outer perimeter, leaving the interior completely open and usable, while the roof folds towards the central void, conceived as the core of the space and a possible point of gathering. From a constructive point of view, the project is based on the development of a sectional module which, through a tension chain anchored to the foundations, makes it possible to generate the inward cantilever and the upper joint, giving shape to a geometry formed by the intersection of two triangles. The result is an open, unified, and recognisable space, designed to accommodate the farm’s activities and the moments of encounter that accompany its public life.
