For many years, Boisbuchet\u2019s workshops have become an opportunity to add new pieces to the unique architectural ensemble of the Domaine. J\u00f6rg Schlaich\u2019s domes, Shigeru Ban\u2019s paper pavilion, Sim\u00f3n V\u00e9lez\u2019s bamboo buildings, or Lina Ghotmeh\u2019s greenhouse are all witnesses to their time and its technical, environmental and societal challenges that must be faced.<\/p>\n
For Boisbuchet\u2019s 30th anniversary, we have organised this year around twenty summer workshops about \u201cEnergies and Synergie<\/em>s\u201d. And to celebrate this anniversary even more, Boisbuchet has organized, together with the\u00a0Belgian architectural firm dmvA<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0German laboratory and company Polycare<\/strong>, a special\u00a0workshop\u00a0from October 13th<\/sup>\u00a0to 23rd<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0this year.<\/p>\n The workshop will introduce participants to a new type of construction system that uses polymer concrete blocks developed by Polycare, which enable\u00a0even non-professionals to construct their own buildings<\/strong>\u00a0with little physical and economic effort and in a very short time.<\/p>\n These lightweight construction elements allow an\u00a0extremely simple assembly and dismantling and are particularly environmentally friendly<\/strong>. They can be reused almost endlessly while requiring no water, neither during production nor when used on the construction site. In addition, the system remains affordable even for economically disadvantaged people due to extraordinarily low construction costs. Our workshop uses this innovative system for a new building with a sophisticated design that shall stand as an example of innovative and sustainable construction in Boisbuchet\u2019s architectural park.<\/p>\n In the immediate vicinity of existing oeuvres by Shigeru Ban, Lina Ghotmeh, Gilles Ebersolt and J\u00f6rg Schlaich, the approx. 70 m\u00b2 structure will provide\u00a0accommodation for the Domaine\u2019s future gardener and cook<\/strong>, as well as space for seminars. In keeping with the idea of\u00a0circular economy building<\/strong>, the doors, windows and other building elements will be used as far as possible from second-hand sources. In addition, the aim is for the house to be as independent as possible from the existing infrastructure in terms of water and operating energy.<\/p>\n The workshop offers the unique experience of\u00a0constructing a complete building from the foundation to the roof on one\u2019s own<\/strong>. In ten intensive days, the participants get to know a new material and a groundbreaking method \u2013 enough time, therefore, to exchange ideas in cooperation with international colleagues, the renowned architectural office dmvA and the Polycare laboratory as inventors of this new construction method.<\/p>\n The\u00a0price of the workshop includes<\/strong>\u00a0accommodation<\/strong>\u00a0in a shared room with an en-suite bathroom,\u00a0meals<\/strong>\u00a0(breakfast, lunch and dinner), the use of a wide range of\u00a0tools and materials<\/strong>, including the polyblocks and all the other building elements,\u00a0tuition<\/strong>,\u00a0guided visit<\/strong>\u00a0of Boisbuchet\u2019s architectural park, and access to our\u00a0library and our wide professional network<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The following reduced rates for the 10-day workshop have been made possible thanks to the generous support of\u00a0Polycare<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Direction r\u00e9gionale des affaires culturelles de Nouvelle-Aquitaine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tutor(s):<\/span>\u00a0[wpv-view name=\"tutors-text-list\"]
