The workshop is designed to bring together architects, designers and others who are passionate about building with earth to collaborate and build a sample component of an arts village in rural Ghana.
We Build With Earth is a hands-on, fulls-on site-specific experience in a location outside of the Western culture. Work side-by-side with local artisans to generate an alternative using earth and other local materials while furthering your knowledge of the intersections between the arts and architecture. Experience how a design problem, budget and site-specific dynamics such as materials, indigenous technologies and community can provoke resourceful thinking and hybridization. In the process, the student will learn to design what is buildable to make a well rounded graduate. For the professional, you will find the hands-on earth architecture experience a pause from your office work to rediscover the rudiments of architecture and nuances that can refresh your practice.
