EXYZT
Location:
Paris, France
Active between 2003 and 2015, EXYZT’s manifesto proclaims it as a ‘platform for multidisciplinary creation’ whose aim is to challenge the view of architecture as an independent field of practice. Exyzt was based in Paris with around 20 permanent members. The collective conceived and organised each project as an experimental playground in which cultural behaviours and shared stories related, mixed and mingled.
Each project strived to involve different constituencies of the local community in a social network that is invited to inhabit a temporary space. The collaboration of the collective was project based, all members brought in specific competences and also continued develop initiatives which are still active, among them constructlab, 1024 architecture or surface totale to name a few.
