Conceived as cultural, educational and design initiative, with the purpose of supporting a project with a strong innovative and sustainable nature, the workshop, that will engage for two weeks Architecture students and young architects, aims to develop design solutions that generate new spaces, as a result of experimentation, but at the same time architectures with a strong reference to the context and perceived by the community of Aboduam as integral part of the local social fabric.
