SummerLab EPHEMERAL
Nature as an inspiration in the design process.
The course of the summer EPHEMERAL is a program of learning immersive in Nature, in the Natural Park of Networks, in Asturias.
We will go hand in hand with the Study of architecture of san sebastian Arquimaña, to move a design inspired by the Nature and elements of vernacular architecture asturian the language of the manufacturing numerical control (CNC). We will manufacture and build a wooden structure that will be kept in Ladines for several months.
We will learn to look at Nature with curiosity, and from the creative experimentation to find alternatives to the traditional architecture. Taking Nature as a model, it makes us rethink and rethink the future of design, using alternatives to the traditional production processes.
EPHEMERAL is an experience for professionals and students who want to explore the world of digital manufacturing. We will know the whole process of design, from the detail of the assembly, through the manufacturing, milling machine, until the installation with our own hands.
Why look to Nature?
We believe that progress towards societies ecologically sustainable the first step is to raise the awareness of people about the problems and the consequences that generate our demands and dynamics of the consumption current. As consumers, we are the problem and also the solution, because we have the power to change our way of consuming and slow down the waste, and waste that we generate.
Mankind must face up to a major transformation and change its relationship with Nature, through greater social and ecological consciousness.
The design is a powerful tool for carrying out this transformation, for this reason we propose environments for experimentation, looking for narratives that pose a better future.
A new way of thinking about the processes of creating, innovating in the resolution of the design challenges of a sustainable, circular and regenerative, using Nature as a guide.
