CARLOS is an interdisciplinary team, established in France and Germany. The collective, initiated in 2016, acts at the interface between Landscape, Architecture, Urbanism and Arts.
We work through various mediums such as collage, photography, drawing, combining theory and field research.
The collective is part of a changing world that invites to question our ways of inhabiting and developing territories. Our interventions take into account changes in weather patterns, support the diversity and the inclusion of territorial actors (human and non-human) through the recognition of local knowledge and practices.
Our approach combines research, design and action and develops methods and tools specific to each situation.
Site studies, consultation meetings and interventions projects on the ground, the valuation of the existing and the economy of means are the guiding threads of our approach.
The jury’s opinion:“A rich and innovative proposition on several scales, in terms of strategy and method. Based on the principle of soil regeneration, the team’s comments are doubly relevant from an ecological and economic point of view. The proposed development concept, “the earthworm strategy” is enriched by a sensitive approach illustrating a project approach attentive to nature and the landscape which is based on the qualities and resources of the site. It responds to the theme of the session with a certain radicality”.
