Speakers
Bento is an association of architects that puts the experimentation of matter at the centre of its reflections. Living matter questions the sustainability of our current production methods and their impact on our way of life. Starting from this observation and/or this obligation, the architects of Bento make a point of exalting it, of going beyond it, to build a bridge between architecture, art and design, in particular by experiencing the resources of mycelium. Bento was the winner of Europan 16 on the CIVA site in Brussels (2022), and has just been appointed to curate the Belgian Pavilion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale (2023) with philosopher Vinciane Despret.
