Hit the Den!

Remember how we used to play tag? You shouted “Den!” when you wanted to stop the game for just a while, to catch your breath in the safe zone of the home base. Do you ever find yourself wishing you could just say “Den!” to stand up to the hectic daily routine, grab a bite without rushing anywhere, walk your dog, study or read, do something you don’t need to do or simply revel in doing nothing? At the first RogLab Creathon we’ll create urban dens together, modular pavilions or spatial designs for activities that we want to do outdoors, a bit removed, but not completely isolated.

If you have an idea what your den should be like or if you simply want to spend a creative weekend in good company, join the international two-day Creathon with your friends, or develop your idea on your own. Throughout the process you’ll have a professional team of mentors working in 3D fabrication and modelling, architecture, biotechnology, electrical engineering and the art of spatial interventions to support you and offer some of their valuable advice. We’ll also enjoy the company of master fabricators from the European FabLabNet network.

What kind of dens can you create?
There’s a reading den, for example, or a love den. Why not a hungry den, lazy den or even a dog den? Some can’t resist a sound den and many might well go in for a bio or climate den. In short, you can make any unique den to your own liking.
 
Who can apply?
You can apply individually or as a team. We are looking for transdisciplinary individuals and teams. No worries if you apply alone – we’ll find the team for you!
 
What knowledge do you need to join?
None. Make sure you indicate your areas of interest in your application, stating what you do, either professionally or as a hobby.
