PROJECT SKETCH
A professional and interconnective human experience. for my first 'Design and Build Workshop' in Italy
LECTURE
MIXING STRAW AND CLAY
After many workshops organised and run in Cambodia and other countries in Southeast Asia, with the support of Building Trust international, I was finally able to bring the same formula to Italy, my home country. This of course was very exciting and memorable for me. Combining innovative building design with natural construction methods, the workshop focused on the creation of functional spaces through sustainable means and materials. Over the course of 12 days, participants worked closely with the artisans of Terraepaglia to learn hands-on construction methods including adobe brick making, straw bale and rammed earth construction, natural plastering, and wood flooring.
