In 1992, in Gourgoubès, in the south of France, an international team of physicists, engineers, artists, musicians, writers, choreographers, dancers, film directors, television producers led by the French opera director Humbert Camerlo and Arup engineer Peter Rice created the first open air theatre performance exclusively illuminated by the light of the moon.

Thirty years later, we will recreate the Full Moon Theatre ‘Wonderful Laboratory’ as an opportunity to work together as a community after experiencing the isolation of the pandemic and reflect on the fragility of our ecosystem and on the impact of our design actions. These are critical contemporary issues that are especially relevant in the context of the climate, energy and ecological emergencies that we are facing.

Architectural Association

About Encompassing myriad forms and agendas, the Visiting School courses and workshops are built around agenda-driven project briefs that are pursued and shaped by students working intensively in small groups led by AA tutors. Central to each is the idea that experimental, new and provocative forms of architecture are best learned by doing. The school promotes, tests and challenges global interests in architectural learning and exchange by embedding a diverse group of creative students and tutors in an array of unique rural, urban and international contexts. From continental Europe to the Middle East, Asia, Australia and the Americas, the AA Visiting School offers new and unexpected learning opportunities all over the world. Places on each course are limited, and anybody who would like to further their architectural knowledge and skills can apply.
