I.C.I is a temporary refuge based on the bank of the Loire and open to anybody who wants to experience micro-architecture in wood, ground, resin, underground, in the trees, on the ground or on stilts. A place for visitors to contemplate and take a rest, whilst admiring the river flow.
I.C.I refers to “Instant City”, nomadic town imagined by the architecture firm Archigram at the end of the sixties. A travelling metropolis, Instant City describes a society reduced to a network of informations, where architecture is nothing but an event.
Through an aesthetic, formal, conceptual, functional approach, inspired by utopias from the sixties or the seventies, or influenced by emergency situations (natural catastrophes, wars…), I.C.I underlines brings architectural alternatives where auto-construction is promoted, where humans live peacefully with their natural environment. Built by artists, architects or inventors concerned about the living conditions of homeless people, these “ready-to-move-in units” are open day and night.

EVERYTHING MUST GO! Come and stay for the night and get your own unit at the end of August! Lost of the units will be on auction via internet (bidding starting on the 6th of June, and closing on the 16th of August).

A NIGHT IN A UNIT: bring your sleeping bag, towel, toiletries, picnic and drinking water
