The programme is designed so that all parts will always take place as joint activities: the analysis, design and construction.
On the first day, the participants will be introduced to the place, the team, and the brief. There will be inputs from the host, experts and tutors.
After the introduction follows the analysis of the provided materials and the site in groups. In the next few days, there will be quick design sessions and handicraft exercises with simple tools. Lastly, after the final design proposal has been discussed in the group and with the host, the group prepares the final production and will carry out the construction of its design with the help of the tutors.
There will be presentations from and discussions with guests, such as local architects, artists and other specialists. In addition, one day during the workshop, there will be an excursion to visit interesting projects related to the summer school.
