The organizers will arrange a “workshop tent” with drawing boards, elec- tricity and Wi-Fi access. Other drawing instruments will be freely admitted but not provided. The use of any digital support is free. During the design phase the participants will be divided into groups, any of which will be as- signed a specific topic to develop.
In the following, self-building phase all the needed materials and equipment will be provided by the organizers. In particular the building materials will be available in standard formats, in a definite amount. It will be the teams’ skill to best optimize the available resources.
