Villa Medici's Summer 2022 Festival of Temporary Pavilions
The inaugural Festival des Cabanes at the French Academy in Rome – Villa Medici is set for summer 2022, showcasing four temporary micro-architectures created by three French architectural firms and a group of students. These installations will be displayed in the gardens until October 2, 2022. Kicking off on June 25, 2022, the festival will feature the Nuit des Cabanes, which offers free admission from 6 PM to midnight. The pavilions on display include: agence DREAM's Pavillon ça joue!, a spiral design with basketball hoops; KOZ Architectes' Padiglione Sous le pin, a versatile wooden structure; WALD's Padiglione ProtoCAMPO, which includes a wooden agora and an inflatable dome; and the nomadic gathering hut, Padiglione Banquets des vestiges, created by SPEAP students.
