You know Project M from their latest Buy a Meter project and John Bielenberg’s “thinking wrong” mantra (amongst many others – projects and matras!) This summer, they’re bringing the show to Falls Village, CT, home and office of Winterhouse, where twelve (lucky) participants will have the opportunity to work on a unique design project. Here’s the pitch:

We are pleased to announce that Project M is coming to Winterhouse from August 15-30, 2009. Twelve select individuals will get to participate in a unique collaborative enterprise to create a single design project of lasting value in a rural community. This project is sponsored by William Drenttel and Jessica Helfand of Winterhouse, with the active participation of John Bielenberg, the founder of Project M. Design Observer will provide an interesting array of visiting critics and will publish the project. Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation will provide input and serve as an advisor. Application deadline is June 15 with notification of selected participants by June 30. Cost is $1500 plus travel and expenses.

Critics will be Michael Bierut, Julie Lasky, Alice Twemlow, Lorraine Wild, and Core77’s Allan Chochinov. Get more info and application guidelines at the site.
