The participants were working in an abandoned hotel built in the 70s in Brutalist architectural style, located in Manas Garden Project.

The aim of the project was to turn a 60 m2 room into an organic and cosy multipurpose community space.
The experience started with demolishing parts of the original interior setup by removing old chipboards, plasters and different layers of paint. By the end they could enjoy the result of their work by having community events in the room they had created.
The new design wasn't provided to the volunteers, they were challenged to discuss and figure out the basic aspects of organic design principles. They were following a 'slow', step by step method based on the idea of changing the given interior one step at the time in order to save time and energy by preventing unnecessary damage and to reuse and recycle parts of the old design.

In order to provide access to professional technical solutions and to the proper use of tools they were working under the supervision and guidance of artists and builders experienced in organic architecture.

They had a chance to learn through experimenting with different eco-friendly building techniques and to gain first-hand understanding of the differences between different building materials. About 95% of the clay used during the process was taken from the garden of the hotel and it was refined and mixed by the participants. The other 5% was coming from a company specialized in eco-friendly building materials so they had the chance to compare the two.
The same principle was applied for the general material use during the project as a wide range of materials were provided both from the natural surrounding and from the local eco-friendly industry.
