Alice ATTOUT, Belgian architect. In Seville two years, working in the urban study recipes. He arrived in Seville with a Leonardo scholarship at that time some containers were still walking around Spain. Right now working on the development of some diagrams that show the path of the collective over the past three years.

How long have you been in Seville?

Two plus years.

How do you relate to the groups working on a network?

I found myself in the network of groups because Recipes Urban team. I have luck, I love my job.

What is your contribution to the network?

I would say it is more technical, drawing, specific projects of diagrams.

Why do you think there is a project?

At the time, for friends, for "few resources", by recalling the notion of common sense, spontaneity, mutual aid, for fun, ... Indeed, for many reasons. Well, in the field of architecture, we could say that comes before the image of the architect "superstar" to which we have become accustomed, but do not think it necessary to mention ...

What you see viable network in present and future?

It is complex to discuss the feasibility when a project is being built and may sound fatalistic talk about death when something is born. For now I know why I do not care who is in good hands.

Say a word that defines the network for you.

I can think of the Belgian motto: "L'union fait la force" [trans.: "Unity is strength"]

In what situation do you think is the collective work across the board (other)?

Just begun. It is considering everything, everyone contributes a little. They are setting the standards. In short is being organized so that it can make possible. No matter what the network level. However, that does not stop already carried out several projects and events that make us think you have to pull ahead.

Do you know a similar social system?

We have not invented anything, is a cooperative system.



Farewell.

Advertise or talk about any upcoming project.

We should begin in March the collective work of Projects in Benicassim, a design center with recycled containers. But we are still with the paperwork ... Then I have really wanted to have on hand Paula's book outlining the history of these containers and see the film of William, of course!

Personal contribution.

Participated in several projects of recycling containers Zaragoza. Technically, either as an architect drawing or as currela "turning screws" as Santi says! Now I'm doing charts and diagrams to visually communicate what is "our" network.
