Festival des Architectures Vives 2024

Montpellier, France

Association Champ Libre

Back to FAV 24

Montpellier, France, 2024-07-03 -  The 2024 edition of the Festival des Architectures Vives received a very positive response from the public, with visitors numbering around 13,000.

Since 2006, the Festival des Architectures Vives has been offering the public an immersive exploration of Montpellier's architectural treasures - its private mansions. By transforming little-known historic spaces with contemporary architectural installations, we encourage dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation. Each installation is created by teams of young architects.

This year, 30 mediators, students at the Montpellier School of Architecture, were on hand at each site to help visitors better appreciate the tour. What's more, the event was free of charge, demonstrating ther desire to open up to as many people as possible.


2024 theme: Rhythm 
In this Olympic year 2024, the Festival des Architectures Vives is more than ever dedicated to exploring the links between architecture and movement, in a celebration of the harmony between body, performance, and structure. Under the captivating theme of "Rhythm", the Festival plunges into a dynamic dialogue between art, sport, and architectural discipline, inspired by the philosophical foundations of the modern Olympic Games established by Pierre de Coubertin, who sought to extend the thinking of Greek philosophers that body and mind are inseparable.

Environmental commitment

The Festival des Architectures Vives reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability by implementing a rigorous environmental charter. In partnership with Mas Réemploi, the Festival encouraged the use of recycled materials and creative reuse in the design of installations.

Thanks to the reuse of plant materials, 13,058 kg.eq.CO2 were saved.

But what does 13,058 kg.eq.CO2 represent? 
- 3,751 return train journeys between Montpellier and Paris 
- 17.5 years of electric heating for an average apartment (63m²) 
- 97,163 return trips on Tramway line 1 Mosson - Odysseum in Montpellier.

The teams 
From over 80 applications received, the selection committee chose 11 teams, representing 26 architects, with a rich balance of national and international talent.

About the FAV

FAV is organized by Montpellier-based architects Elodie Nourrigat and Jacques Brion.

The Festival des Architectures Vives seeks to answer to the evolution of architectural practice which, by integrating all domains related to its culture, no longer hesitates to assert itself through realizations. “Lively Architectures” are short-lived and evolutionary by nature; localized, registered in a short temporality, and conceived of for a specific place.
