Summer School

The use of sustainable construction materials is crucial for a more sustainable future. Reusing existing materials is at the core of circular construction and is fundamental to our future architecture. As availability-based design leads to a wider notion of materiality, we need to explore how to understand different forms, develop connections, and arrange components and spaces. This 1-week design and build workshop is aimed at exploring the possibilities of reusing building materials. Participants will be provided with a given set of components and asked to analyze and discuss their technical and architectural properties, as well as possible modes of connection. They will then develop design proposals for a small structure that will serve as a temporary meeting place on the campus of the Politecnico di Milano.

Application Deadline: June 3, 2024
