Community Project
La Casa de los Sueños – Jóvenes del Bachillerato Emiliano Zapata en Río Grande
The project’s objective was to work with the imagination and create a space that will be the ideal place for each participant.
The idea of the workshop was to evolve in each session by creating a complex design of each space or imagined ecosystem. First, each student drew their ideal place; then translated those designs into three-dimensional models of paper, trying to make them as detailed as possible, using impressions of different textures or with other elements to add to the model: “I want to print images of animals for my farm “or” I would like to have images of large stones and bricks for my castle “, are an example of the requests that the students made to Raphaël to be able to integrate them into their ideal place. In the end, all the models were put together in a big model so that the resident could transform that paper world into a digital world. Raphaël made the “render” of each design and detail requested by the participants to create a virtual world that could be traced as a videogame. The participants had the opportunity to play within this virtual landscape and recognize their ideal place to live.
“I copied the Acapulco bay because I like to have the beach and tall buildings,” “The story I like most happens inside a lighthouse, and that’s why I created this red lighthouse because it reminds me of that book.”
What did you learn in the workshop?
“I learned that you can do what you wish and that nothing is truly impossible” Netson Dair Tadeo Vásquez, 17 years old.
“I learned to use my imagination in such a fun way. Viewing all the pieces that we created was fantastic.” Jaqueline Mayte Serrano Baños, 17 years old.
