Emerging architects and designers present installations addressing impermanence at the 2022 Festival des Architectures Vives

One of Europe's most popular architectural festivals has just named the prize winners and special mentions of its 10-team, 5-day-long juried exhibition, which took place between June 14-19. Now in its sixteenth year, The Festival des Architectures Vives (FAV) in Montpellier, France, assembles young designers from France and abroad, where they addressed this year's design theme, "impermanence."

According to its organizers, Elodie Nourrigat and Jacques Brion, “The purpose of the Festival des Architectures Vives is to raise public awareness of the broad field of architecture. It strives not only to highlight the work of a young generation of architects, landscape architects, and urban planners but also to discover unexpected urban territories [and] seeks to mark the spirits, to initiate a global reflection on architecture and its development in an existing urban context as well as to create a dialogue between contemporary creation and heritage.”
