The Common Sauna of Artena 2/3 An Italian village rarely can offer a Finnish kiuas (stove) right away. Participants could enjoy the first sauna by adapting an old stove. However, smoke was an issue, especially because of the chimney. We planned to solve it later (sketch by Marco Casagrande) and, in fact, Giampiero “Mazzetta” Talone offered his strength to open a new exit for the smoke, while Luciano Talone helped building a new entrance door.

The Common Sauna of Artena 1/3 The Common Sauna of Artena was built in the village of Artena, Italy, in July 2019. Sara Bissen and Stefano Serafini had the idea of everyone enjoying such a pleasure, socially, and for free. In fact, the sauna is considered an expensive spa luxury in many countries, including Italy. Professor Marco Casagrande @casagrandelaboratory joined and directed the construction of the sauna during the “Designing a Home of Language” 2019 Biourbanism Summer School. Local and international heroes built it in an abandoned cellar in the heart of the ancient Artena in record time: Arch. Anu Mantsinen, Arch. Gabriele Mundula, Arch. Bas Oudenaarden, Arch. Emmaliisa Reinikainen, Arch. Uğur Sağlam, Arch. Ghassan Jansiz, Chi-Ling, Beju Dudali, Giampiero “Mazzetta” Talone, Augusto Angelini, Luciano Talone, and Rinaldo Riccitelli. “No forced leadership or closed design was given, but an open-form possibility of constructive anarchy for the community to self-engage in a collective mission. The sauna grew along with the momentum of a sense of communicative action though collective work. It is a communicative construction, with no other common language than physical labor and collective mind.” – Marco Casagrande La Sauna 2019 Biourbanism Artena, Italia by @beju.dudali https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JMkCYj9qMpc&feature=youtu.be (at Artena) https://www.instagram.com/p/CItRUbBrHtn/?igshid=k2l1fck367ss

Biourbanism Summer School

Language

The power to transmit is skyrocketing while our human capability to communicate is dying. This global phenomenon is accelerating to the point of deteriorating communities and adversely affecting social relations, politics, and justice, along with the symbolic systems of cities, rurality, and landscape.

Design

We need design to build real communication among human beings, recover the environment, landscape, and means of production, as well as rethink political economy for a new and wise form of belonging.

Home

After five years of study, our international working group will gather July 13–20, 2019 in the ancient town of Artena, Italy to design solutions together. 

Thinkers, designers, writers, entrepreneurs, politicians, economists, citizens, activists, and artists will gather for a deliberative democracy experience aimed at bringing home seeds of future.

Join

Keynote lectures will counterpoint circular transdisciplinary workshops to prototype a biourban model of city, landscape, and civic organization that encompasses politics, epistemology, and design.

The sauna is constantly cleaning body and soul and creating ashes—ex cinere resurgo.” (at Artena) https://www.instagram.com/p/B084u9iCb_X/?igshid=rm0tvcdy13mh

@casagrandelaboratory The story of kiuas Every sauna needs a kiuas for heat up the room. The local master builder Mr Gian Piero ((Mazzetta) helps us find a traditional kitchen stove that is abandoned from the neighbourhood. We move the stove together to the site. Superman does not need to wear any shoes when carrying heavy stuff. Of course. We want to transform the kitchen stove to adapt our needs. We kindly ask our neighbour Nonna borrowing electricity from her house, but our electric drill broke. She calls immediately. Nonno comes in a hurry. He took out his big toolbox with everything we dream of. After a short while he sure we didn't know how to use the machine. He took over and fix it for us. Grazie mille!!!!! Now our sauna has a kiuas! ps. Kiuas is special noun only for sauna stove in Finnish. . Public sauna for Artena . .
