TREE co-organizes the 2nd Marathon Ecofestival. Part of this experimental process this year, is the realization of two workshops for students of architecture. They involve one workshop on tensile structures and another workshop on building techniques with the use of clay.
Excerpts from the first weekend of workshops which will produce the grand covered Social Space for the Ecofestival, with the reuse of used sailing sails, as well as the mold for the creation of an information center with the use of clay building techniques.
