Spatial laboratory
Living among the trees
How can you be indoors and still feel nature? Where does the interior end and the exterior begin? In this course, we explore how different construction methods create spaces between inside and outside. We look for the little pleasures that bring spaces to life: the light on the floor, the shadow of a tree, a sheltered seating niche with a view of greenery, or the feeling of standing barefoot on warm stones. When do you feel really comfortable in a space? Inspired by current architectural ideas, we sketch plans and build models out of cardboard, recycled materials and natural finds. Join us in building, exploring and inventing new spaces and learn more about architecture and building culture.
