The workshop consists of a 1 ½ day theory component, and then 3 ½ days where the participants put into practice what they have learnt in the first 1 ½ days. They will begin with a Site Visit and Mehtaphysical Analysis and then for three days will work on the various stages in the planning and design process. The charette will result in participants putting together a basic Conceptual Master Plan for an Ecolodge as well as an Architectural Floor Plan of an ecolodge guest unit. This Workshop and Charette will provide hands-on training to receptive communities in how to design and build in sensitive and fragile ecosystems.
