Summer School
We are getting in touch with you in order to share the detailed plan of Critical Concrete’s design/build educational programme of 2018 with you and your students. If this makes sense for you, please see in the bottom of the email the material to share.
Critical Concrete is a non-profit association that focuses on the refurbishment houses for impoverished populations through educational programmes. This year we organise for the third time a intensive 3 week Sustainable and Social Architecture Summer School in Porto, Portugal.
Learning Goal/Output
From the course, students will gain a mix of practical work and theoretical input while learning how to collectively design and build social architecture, with restricted budget and time. The participants will be monitored by international and local mentors and integrate our network, which will support their future projects.
We are also proud to introduce our Research Lab about insulation and heating for impoverished populations. We have prototyped insulating panels with recycled wool, cardboard and alternative heating systems as the rocket stove and we look forward to incorporate the results into our upcoming Summer School. Currently we are focusing on the insulation properties of fungal mycelium. All our research is published under Creative Common Licence on our Blog.
Target group
Architecture and design professionals, graduates, students and PhD-students, engineers, makers, DIYers, builders and artists in their respective fields as much as people who want to get a first experience in building with a theoretical input.
Certificate
After successful completion of this course the participants will receive a certificate of participation by the ESAP, Escola Superior Artística do Porto.

At the same time, we are looking for partnerships with universities that would be interested in adding practical extracurricular activities to their courses, or have us in their courses either conducting a workshop or presenting the project.
