ESUA TEST MODULE 5:
 
ARCHITECTURE AND BUILDING TECHNIQUES IN WOOD.
 
NORWAY, 16-23 AUGUST 2008
 
Based on the ESUA curriculum and training methodology hypothesis, this test module will focus on the problems and possibilities in real-life situations by studying ongoing development and building projects in Norway, using  wood as a sustainable building material.

 

The partners will visit and make interviews at selected projects ranging from single buildings to urban areas, and explore both new and traditional wood technologies.
 
Based on these experiences, students and  partners will participate in a workshop to test participation in a hands-on building process as a teaching method in future educational programs  based on the ESUA curricuum.

 

The short course will include both workshop training and classroom teaching, and also be open for participants from the building industry,  practicing architects,  urban designers and  students from the partners'  network. The short course will be held in collaboration with two of the Affiliated Organisations, the NGO Stiftelsen Byens Fornyelse and the local construction company  Rauland Aktivitets Service.

 

All participants in the test course will be invited to take part in the evaluation and critique of the event, and make proposals for a revised teaching methodology and curriculum.
