Architecture and Natural Materials📐Workshop

Architecture and Natural Materials📐Workshop

Explore how architecture responds to its surroundings through models, exhibits, videos and natural building materials. Handle materials (wood, wood fiber, and hemp) while learning about sustainable construction.

Atelier Vert Forêt invites you to discover its design approach, a fusion of architecture, territory, and materials.

Through an exhibition of projects, models, images, videos, and material samples, visitors will discover how a building takes shape from its location, taking into account its orientation, topography, views, vegetation, light, and the needs of its inhabitants.

For the occasion, Biophil, a craftsman and entrepreneur specializing in healthy and natural construction, will be present to showcase the benefits of hemp and lime, share their expertise, and discuss the possibilities offered by natural materials in contemporary construction.

Mini-workshop: featuring hemp and trowel-applied plasters will also be available to visitors, with architects available throughout the day.

This free and welcoming activity is perfect for architecture enthusiasts, families, the curious, and anyone interested in sustainable construction, natural materials, and a more ethical and mindful approach to design.
