PROGRAMME UPDATE PAO.6 IN POTOC


Whereas the rehabilitation and transformation of the Potoc school is at the core of the Experimental Architecture Summercamp in Romania, PAO is touching ground this year: Under the guidance of a professional expert we will experiment with earth building techniques (clay/adobe construction). This technique seems especially appropriate as Potoc village is practically set upon a hill of clay.

The Earth building workshop is one item within a program of diverse activities (lectures & discussions, practice & workshop, craft & art). Envisioned is a range of practical architectural interventions which focus on the refurbishment of work-spaces inside the school, as well as on the rehabilitation of the immediate environment of the school (walls, gates, well etc.) Imagine a vital school where people get inspired and grow their mind.
