WaterSchool. A speculation in four seasons
As the site of the peace treaty of 1763, Hubertusburg Castle once again becomes the setting for negotiations on the future peaceful use of resources. In view of the centuries-long struggle for resources and the associated power structures, a reconsideration of consumption, ownership and accessibility is urgently needed. Studio Makkink & Bey has been working internationally on so-called “WaterSchools” since 2012; the first of this kind is now being developed in Germany and for the first time in rural areas in Wermsdorf with this exhibition and an accompanying DESIGN CAMPUS summer school. At Schloss Hubertusburg, the urban and international background of the studio interacts with the long and eventful history of Schloss Hubertusburg, which has served as a hunting lodge, sanatorium, military magazine and factory, to create new perspectives. The exhibition discusses a way of dealing with resources that focuses on inclusion, sustainability and a new concept of luxury.
The WasserSchule sees Hubertusburg Castle as a place of learning that creates links to the surrounding agriculture, forestry and pond farming as well as other local production. The exhibition divides the possible future of Hubertusburg and its surroundings into four seasons, each of which is dedicated to different economic forms. This allows for a speculative landscape of life and work on a small scale.
