INTRO

WHY A DESIGN BLOG? As in the last years, the PAO Architecture Summerschool wants to design and build a small piece of architecture in 2008 too. The location will be Central German Village of Schwabhausen again. The main part of the design must be complete before the workshop begins (August-September). Only that way we can organise the necessary materials, support people, tools etc. in time. Therefore we want to design our "to build" project together in this blog. Most important is that all workshop participants have contributed to the design in advance.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE Everybody who wants to join the PAO.4 Summerschool (or has participated in the last years) can join the "PAO Design Blog". All ideas are welcome. They will be discussed and included in one way or another into the construction project. Send us your own sketches, photos, etc. to paoproject@gmail.com - and we will post them immediately on the PAO Design blog. You can also comment freely about other sketches, notes, and concepts posted on the blog.

HOW THE BLOG WORKS Starting by June, every week the design task will be specified a bit more. Until middle of August, we will collect ideas and review them continuously. Step by step, the ideas must get focused - until we reach a design scheme that we can build.
