The festival follows the theme of Sacrality, questioning the place and the condition of the sacred in the dense city, and more particularly in a historical fabric.
The MedI-FAV project, winner of Montpellier Cultural Capital 2028, will also be presented there, which aims to combine innovation in the food sector through the reuse of eco-waste, particularly from oyster farming, for architecture with new approaches.
This work, as a demonstrator, was presented on the site of the Maison Tarbouriech in Marseillan (Ostreic farmer in Marseillan) in November 2022, and it will be reworked for a new presentation during the Festival des Architectures Vives 2023 in Montpellier.
The MedI-FAV project is carried out in collaboration with the Maison TARBOURIECH, the National School of Architecture of Grenoble, and the Grand Atelier Innovation Architecture.
The teams and projects include:
