Szumin is not just the former home of renowned architects. Above all, it is a living laboratory of the Open Form! It was here that Oskar Hansen once held his famous Summer Schools and successfully transformed the architecture and surrounding nature into a fascinating backdrop for visual experiments. For the Hansens, the house meant much more than just a place to live and relax. It was the practical embodiment of their theory—a space that evolves with its inhabitants and flexibly responds to their daily needs.
Now we invite you to rediscover this extraordinary space! A sketchbook-style tour of the house in Szumin is a great opportunity to take a close look at the building, chat, and… draw together.
What will we be doing?
We’ll weave captivating stories about Szumin and its creators with short art exercises. These will help us warm up our hands and quickly spark our imagination. Sketching will be the perfect excuse to take a moment’s respite and take a close look at the forms that surround us.
After a guided walk together, we’ll find time for free-form creativity. We’ll spread out with our sketchbooks inside the building and in the beautiful garden next to the house. You don’t need to have much experience drawing—what matters is mindfulness and the joy of the creative process itself!
