Program Description

This design-build program aims to strengthen the tradition of building and craftsmanship enhanced with the use of digital tools and computer simulations. The workshop will use the Living Building Challenge as a frame for design, construction and assessment in a regenerative way in harmony with nature. The technology will mix between high-tech (digital fabrication techniques, environmental simulation) and lo-TEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge) represented by craftsmanship with basket-weaving artisans. GOALS - Learn the principles of regenerative and bio-climatic design - Learn how to acquire weather data and how to use them for environmental simulation - Learn to use Grasshopper for environmental studies, modelling - Understand the principles of prototyping as a lean method for architectural design - Applied plant-based design for architecture through traditional craft - Learn how to weave with wicker and cane
