Architecture students and professionals are invited to join this year’s Architecture Sans Frontières summer school at the Eden Project in September.
The five-day residential workshop is all about ‘disasters and the role of the built environment professional’ and will feature the usual winning combination of inspirational talks, group seminars and practical sessions around the Eden site.
The focus is on addressing the factors that mean natural disasters disproportionately affect poor communities, and discussion will explore issues such as poverty, social exclusion, inappropriate technologies, environmental degradation, marginal land, and inadequate preparedness.
The workshop will culminate in a series of building experiments with materials such as bamboo and timber, sourced from within the various continental environments at the Eden Project, and with the construction of shelter prototypes.
Find out how to apply via the ASF-UK website.
