Module WS 2024/2025

28.09-03.10.2024 / EU-funded
Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, Amsterdam
Cooperation with 6 European Schools of Architecture

In 2022 we built a demountable Chicken Shed with the wood of seven fallen trees. 30 students of seven schools from Europe composed all the developed building elements into a temporary mock-up. After the workshop we took apart all the parts and stored them, waiting for a site to be re assembled for the chickens.

In September 2024 the site appears. On a city-farmland in Haarlem we will rebuild the Shed. We will work in four teams, each with a special task. We will learn hands on, 1 to 1, about four skills of circularity: repair, re-adjust, re-use and re-built. Each student will be able to take part in two of the four teams.

Repair existing parts on site.
Readjust new parts in the carpenter's workshop.
Reuse found building materials for fence, roof- and façade-elements.
Rebuild the whole shed on site.
