Abstract

The transversal experimental concrete workshop offers students in advanced architecture courses the opportunity to carry out a complete project from start to finish through the design and construction of a concrete prototype at a 1:1 scale. Concrete, understood as an integrating material of architecture, is the center of the workshop. Its different characteristics and manipulation possibilities allow students to experiment with alternatives in each exercise, as well as finding project reasons according to their interests. Concrete is the fundamental element since it becomes a vehicle for learning, experimentation, and design.
