The Nikola-Lenivets Classroom is a centre for research and proposition on the New Rural condition based in the creative environment of Nikola-Lenivets, the largest art park in Europe. We offer multidisciplinary research and educational programmes and are part of the GLOBAL FREE UNIT
1
research
Classroom programmes carry out deep research in the new rural condition and draw on the rich resource of practices developed as part of the Art Park over the last 20 years
2
modelling scenarios
In each research project we model future development scenarios for Nikola-Lenivets and rural life, in relation to emerging technologies and changing economic and social realities
3
proposition
We propose physical infrastructure, architecture and development frameworks for the Park, which can be used in similar post-agricultural territories world-wide.
4
realisation
Classroom projects incorporate a live-build element, which means we often build interventions with our own hands using local, renewable materials, which answer the needs of the local community.
