Saprophytes

Saprophytes Architects, landscape architects, visual artists, builders and graphic designers, the Saprophytes have been developing artistic and political projects around social, economic and ecological concerns since 2007.

We claim a relational aesthetic that emphasizes social experience as a founding artistic and constructive act. For Les Saprophytes, the process of collective fabrication of the project is as important as its finished form. Seeking the specificities and potentials of each place, our projects of micro-urbanism, of concrete urbanism, weave their way between the scales of territory and express themselves through different types of actions.
