Workshops on demand
With BC studies, we organise workshops on demand for architecture and engineering offices, universities, government institutions,...
These workshops invigorate team synergy, foster a culture of perpetual learning, and ignite a spirit of innovation..
A typical one day workshop covers the in’s and out’s of building with unfired earth, from both a theoretical & practical point of view.
It’s often done as a team building for an architecture offices or as an earth discovery day for universities.
Typical day program:
- Tour of the production site (1h)
-Overview of raw materials
-Step-by-step explanation of the production process from raw earth to earth building materials
-Showroom of finished materials
- Practical Exercise - Carazas Test (2h)
Hands-on exercise in which different earth-fiber blends are transformed into different capacities.
From this a matrix will emerge that can interpret the different earth building techniques.
- Lecture: Unfired earth as a contemporary building material (1h)
Understanding of clay building materials and their properties
Exploration of historical and contemporary architectural examples of earth building
- Practical Workshop - Earth Samples (2h)
Active participation in creating samples of clay plaster & rammed earth.
Or collaborative construction of an earth wall.
This program can be adapted on demand:
-It can focus on one specific technique, or get enlarged to other bio-based topics
-It can take half a day, a full week or be spread over a semester.
-It can take place in our own atelier at Tour&Taxis (Brussels) or on location.
-We can reflect together what makes most sense in your case.
