Workshops:

Fortunately, one of the main objectives of the studios that I had the chance to work in, is the educational dimension of construction. The world is mainly auto-constructed, or locally constructed and architecture tends to follow the opposite direction, specializing and speculating. The educational dimension changes everything, the interaction, the detail, the budget. It has been one of the main characteristics of our work, and until today we were able to successfully organize 12 professional workshops. The students and locals don’t have the possibility to introduce themselves in the construction, but they are willing to do it. In an exchange beetwen residents and students it is possible to create a new system that connects education and practice. I hope to find the professionals dedicated to this area of investigation:

We were requested to design an outside bathroom able to support groups of 15 people. The program was divided in sectors allowing the building to support five people at the same time.

Year:2020

Colective: Ponto Paragrafo

Place: Aldeia Viçosa. Portugal.

State: Technical Drawing.

Budget: 3500 €

Area: 10 m2

Time: 2 Months.

Lesson: This is the latest project designed and thought to be build in a workshop. For the first time we were able to mix a technical process of prefabrication (cutting and drilling metal for the future assemble) and a collective process of construction. This mixture will allow us to use details that normally, due to their constructive level, are not put into practice. This project completes one of my main goals: the professionalization of autoconstruction.

The Hall

Workshop. 25 students were invited to build a 35m 2 Hall in 4 Days. We invited the clients to create a Workshop hall for future projects.

Year: 2020

Colective: Collective Ponto Parágrafo

Place: Quintas, Portugal.

State: Built.

Budget: 6700 €

Area: 37.5 m2

Time: 4 Days.

People: 27

Lesson: With the help of the Collective Ponto Parágrafo we design, organize and constructed this hall. The majority of the team were 23 years old and the invited students were in their 4ºth grade. This experience created the opportunity that our Faculty (FAUP) has never given us: to construct. So the project started has a confrontation to this reality. Surprisingly, seeing that the majority had never built before, the project was finished in 4 days, as established by the team. Confronted with this reality, the process was based in simple details and the assemble of units.

Staircase II Tree House

Workshop. Eight students were invited to build, in three days, a wood stair. Thanks to a simple understanding of wood pathologies the details were designed for longer durability.

Year: 2020

Colective: Own Authorship.

Place: Rapa, Portugal.

State: Built

Budget: 2000 €

Time: 2 Days.

People: 8

Lesson:This was the first workshop with 8 people for 3 Days. Socially, the great lesson is the organization. There were a lot of moments when there wasn’t a real necessity for 16 hands. So in the future, if we want to prioritize the educational dimension in architecture, the details must change and adapt. The number of people must be controlled to better engage with the process.

Materially speaking, the detail engages well with the context. The system created, permitted a long durability of the stairs, but we made one mistake. the Triangular support was installed with the wood fibers vertically. In just one year two pieces broke. The next page will show our reaction to this condition.

Colective: Own authorship.

Place: Rapa, Portugal.

State: Built

Budget: 3000 €

Area: 10 m2

Time: 16 Days.

People: 74

Lessons: This project was, and is, the place for engagement. Based on an initial proposal for a mountain refuge, mixed with the willing of the owners to create a tree house, we were invited to design this structure. The clients permitted us to experiment and create an alternative process of construction. To this today, we were able to organize 8 workshops, allowing 74 students to have access to construction and take small responsibilities. It’s an experimental structure, able to mixed wood, metal and concrete , formal design and creativity.

Lessons: I deeply believe in learning through practice and I believe in the ability of architects to design coherent projects, where the concept is properly supported by a well conceived project, thought according to its durability and functionality. During the years that followed my University I looked for experiences where I could get in direct contact with construction, with the material and with the production of constructive details. Between April and July 2021 I had the opportunity to learn the processes intrinsic to masonry, eco-construction and the artisanal processes of construction.

Time: 15 Days

People:3

Lessons: After weeks of design, we set ourselves the goal of building an oval bench in compacted earth without the help or support of machinery in its design.

Breton earth is by its composition qualitatively more suitable for Bauge and Torchi. However, avoiding large transports, and thanks to a simple addition of gravel and a varied mineral composition, we can build with local soil and sand from the Loire.

The formwork was built and cut with a cnc which allows us in this category of projects to reach a desired level of perfection. The earth was placed on a metallic base, screwed to the ground avoiding any displacement or rupture during its construction.

Lessons: The project presents itself early on as a challenge. The 25 cm walls with stabilized earth at 4% were built up to 4 meters high.

For safety reasons we placed nets every two layers and reinforced the wall with folded and interlaced 10 mm stainless steel bars.

I was mostly responsible for framing and thinking the project’s encofrados, while the rest of the team was responsible for compaction and soil preparation.

No one knew if we would be able to build under these conditions and on a roof. The stairs were entirely built in earth and the handrail was designed in earth which also allowed us to experiment with building a diagonal wall

Budget:

Time: 8 months

People:13

Lessons: Earth construction processes are still too slow and costly to compete directly with industrial and cement construction.

Yet for political, social and ecological reasons the French public market is willing to provide the necessary funding to execute public works on unstabilized earth.

Atelier Archivolte led by Laurent Petrone, architect/ artisan, accepted the challenge to build a school of 800 m2. The most challenging aspect of this project is to keep the machine running. The tasks set were interconnected and mutually dependent on each other. Keeping this gear running was more central and challenging than the execution of the tasks themselves, and the team adapted the tasks so that everyone could work.

Lessons: Raw compacted earth blocks are an excellent substitute for bricks and concrete bricks.

Despite their weight, they are extremely malleable as quick cuts can easily be made. Extraction/ production is less than 40km from the site and the carbon footprint of their production is extremely low. This is not the only extraction in the area, there are several which makes this material and the associated techniques a possible solution to traditional masonry.

Lessons: The masonry construction process linked to pise is a living technique in full evolution. It is a work that demands a lot of physical effort and a lot of knowledge about a living and breathing matter. This project allowed me to closely observe all the fundamental cleverness to coherently execute this technique of great physical demands. The work was organised in a chain. Everyone had to move at the same speed, work simultaneously, and stop at the same time. There is a real team spirit at work. Everything is done mechanically. There are no machines associated with the assembly and construction process.

Staircase III Tree House

Based on the previous wood stairs, the details were adapted to better respond to the natural context.

Place: Charnecle. France.

State: Built

Budget: 200 €

Time: 3 Days.

People: 2

Lesson: This project was the solution for the context and challenges encountered in the previous stair. It maintains the will of the former details relatively to endurance to rain and sun. With the right tools we were able to rapidly weld, bend and drill the metal. It was faster and simpler. Constructively the detail allowed us to save in wood simplifying the assemble of parts: The challenge for the future is to engage and mix metal techniques with workshops.

Tavaillon. Tree House

Workshop. A Team of students was invited to create a roof with the technique of ‘‘tavaillon’’, wood framing.

Year: 2019

Colective: Own authorship.

Place: Rapa, Portugal.

State: Built.

Budget: 300 €

Area: 10 m2

Time: 2 Days.

People: 6

Lesson: In search of details and techniques that permitted multiple tasking and collective work we encountered the ‘‘tavaillon’’ technique. This detail permits that with simple assemble of wooden boards the roof or façade can be easily shielded from rain. Thanks to a subdivision of simple tasks and a carefully planned work strategy , there was enough work for the number of students invited. The wood was burnt and brushed covering the pores of the wood. Dry wood was purposely selected speeding up the burning process and saving money in gas.

Staircase I

The Stairs. Depending on recicled material, I was challenged to create two metal stairs in a terrain full of terraces, allowing a faster displacement.

Year:2020

Colective: Vincent Gontier.

Place: Charnècle. France

State: Built

Budget: 30 €

Time: 7 Days.

People: 1

Lesson:If you work alone every task can be a challenge. The project was almost fully made with recycled materials so the sections of the metal are exaggerated, but the budget was low. The sections of the metal made every piece heavier than what I could manage alone. So, Installation was a challenge. To construct I only needed two days, but five days for installation. This is the lesson. In the future when working and organizing collective workshops, the weight and the construction work are crucial parts for the process. Details must react to this condition.

Mezzanine I

We were requested to design and build a space able to support 5T of weight, andat the same time leaving the front façade open. The solution was a system of chains, transferring the weight to the rooftop. The project was fully built with reused materials.

Year: 2020

Place: Charnècle. France

State: Built

Budget: 0 €

Time: 5 Days.

People: 2

Lesson: The sculptor and the architect have two different ways off seeing measures. For Vincent half a millimiter is a crucial error. The shock between the scale of the architect and the sculptor, allowed me to escape from a dependence of ‘‘in situ’’ construction. Everything was made in the studio. Here we can see how the mixture of the structural knowledge of the architect and the material handling of the sculptor created a fast and unique job.

Mezzanine II

The Mezzanine. The project was fully built with reused materials. The wood beams came from a constrution site nearby: The metal was the remains of other works. This came perfectly with the context, since the ‘‘client’’ didn’t had enough to pay for the construction materials.

Budget: 0 €

Time: 4 Days.

People: 2

Lesson: The location, an old garage, didn’t have a single straight surface. We could not trust in the ancient walls. For this reason, we adapted every single pillar to every single wall. This experience permitted me to engage with a professional incremental process where nothing was made in site but measured and created in studio. Surprisingly, designing and constructing every single pillar differently didn’t take more time. From now on, pre-existence will not be an unsurpassable task but a challenge.

The Wall I

On a first experience working with FPC in Paris, I was demanded to assemble a metal mechanic structure. The four elements should create a barrier and a protection for the stairs. The structure should be composed of different pieces, a fundamental necessity, allowing the team to construct the structure in studio and at the same time allowing access by the front door. Since the dimension of the apartment was small, visually speaking the client wanted a permeable materiality. Our option was then a metal grill with welding points completely exposed. The challenge of this project was the creation of this welding points that generated the assembly strength and at the same time, were as invisible has they could be.

The Wall II

The second experience with FPC was a private demand to construct a metal façade, an interior division wall that would separate chamber and living room. The repetition of the elements permitted the team to work with Templates, ad also to organize the work mechanically. All welding lines were made at 45º metal assembles. The voids were filled with glass on the top and plywood white boars on the bottom. They were placed with a second metal structure that pressured these elements. The challenge of this project was to perfectly calculate the drilling points of the two different Metal profiles, not forgetting the thickness of all elements (glass, protection sponge, painting, washer), and the space needed for the tolls (wrench and screwdriver.

Metal Props I

As we can see in the last picture, the project is almost invisible after its installation and use. So the interesting part of this project its is mechanical system that creates. By fixing up in two static points (the floor and the ceiling), the third element (a screw nut) creates the needed pressure between the two elements two create a rigid structure. As a dynamic element, the screw nut transforms the structure into a metal prop, an adjustable column.

Sliding door Closet I

Before starting the project, we already knew all the elements that we wanted to store in the closet. For this reason the form of the closet was defined by the size of the elements. The challenge has usual with Vincent was to create a metal structure that supported itself in an ancient “Taipa” Wall, with strong oscillations. The challenge was then in the measuring process. By using two guiding lasers we were able to measure with precision the distance of every point and to construct every piece in studio.

Lesson: Creativity has no limits, but even so we are attached to a economical condition. To survive every action must try to maintain its economic sustainability. Even if this project was made only with recycled materials, the profit (€400) is insufficient for the task, or in other words the project didn’t adapt to the monetary conditions… Time is one of the most fundamental resources:Time was not prioritized, and the detailing process advanced to a complex system. In the future I want to engage with scarcity, so simplicity of process must be perfectly present or else, we will accumulate pressure in the construction process.

Time: 30 Days

Lessons: This project/ research is the result of the work of @fedawardak, @p.jyves and @rrampillon for about two years in Clichysous-bois. The project allowed to put a focus on this forest, a space of refuge and resistance for the inhabitants of Clichy facing the absolute transformation of their territory. The project created a space for dialogue exposing the permanent and radical transformation of the satellite areas of Paris, their abandonment and materialisation, as well as the institutional formats of urban oppression and unsettling themes such as ‘transitional urbanism. More than an alternative is a new methodology of architecture, a research process structured on a network of local and institutional actors based above all on values and aspirations beyond profit and added value.

San Agustín

Reconstruction of an informal playground.

Year: 2018

Colective: Collective RE

Place:Valparaiso, Chile.

State: Built.

Budget: 2000 €

Area: 25 m2

Time: 35 Days

People:12

Lessons: Valparaiso has something to teach us: Abandoned properties can create areas of great urban degradation, however if occupied they can make room for activities with high cultural value. San Agustin was and is a social occupation of a private property. It’s a phenomenon that started incrementally in 2012. Thanks to the fund Placemacking latino America 2017, acquired by Agora 21 studio, we were able to construct this metal structure. However, the fund was insufficient and the project was abandoned by the studio. Rapidly the agents of the collective RE engaged with the social capital of informality and scarcity: mutual-aide. Based on offer and scavenging, we collected the resources and gathered the utilities to construct. The project was finished, a bit more bricolage than the expected, capitalizing the waste of other construction sites.

Lesson: The agents of Collective Re made their own luck and engaged in a project to rehabilitate a 3-floor house. The building dates from 1900 and survived two earthquakes of 9.0. The collective, composed mostly composed of students of architecture and rehabilitation was willing to directly interact with constructing, and more precisely with vernacular techniques. Searching for solutions to the context of our global economy, we created a project based on a local and human scale with details and solutions based on simple materials. This project was a mind opener: There were no limits to the imagination. This was the big challenge, observing waste materials and utilities and rethinking their function.

Lesson: The Hills of Valparaiso are on their own. Unfortunately their are the result of the colonial scar. Beside all the losses, there also opportunities to creativity and engagement. The project self-inscribes on a dimension far greater than a swing. The popular efforts are largely observable, they are everywhere, and they lack the assistance to grow healthy. We must understand that these urban formations are in essence the sites where the state’s greatest internal violence ocurres. The persistence of these places constitutes a daily resistance. Architects can help transform this guerrilla projects to integral solutions. For that reason the work of the architect must concentrate on the formal, legal and social durability of places.

Lesson: The Collective Re was invited to participate in a competition. Instead of one building we offered half a building. Even if this can sound bizarre, the same amount of resources were dedicated to the construction. By supporting itself in the preexistent wall, we were able to think a stronger structure and acquire strong sections of wood and polycarbonate. Fortunately for us the inertia of the wall helped to maintain the heat inside. The form of the building follows the sun, giving to the inner plants a healthier exposure to sunlight.

Several times we encountered ourselves defining details and tasks, dealing with budgets and companies. Fortunately the projects available at the time depended on reusing material. Our tasks were based not only on construction but fundamentally on the intelligent reuse of materials. The value of something depended of the function it would have and also on the difficulty of the rehabilitation process.

Abstratc: I started this drawing after returning from Valparaiso, the city where I lived and worked, from October 2016 to October 2018. The drawing, with 148 cm. in width and 168 cm in height, presents Barrio Puerto, the ancient port of the city and is urban phenomena. Thanks to the mixture of the knowledge acquired (in situ, working as an architect), and the study of the macro-territorial dynamics, I was able to build a holistic proposal for action based on legal mechanisms (expropriation, public financing, concession, technical assistance) and popular initiatives (autoconstruction). Since the current models of the city do not allow us to imagine an equitable future, I search independent social practices, which were able to move from alternative models to insurgent solutions.

Lesson: In the context of my faculty (FAUP) the opportunities to built are minimum. The only opportunity happens, once every year, at the music festival called FAUPFest. After my experience in Chile, I decided to participate in competition, side to side with the people that today are my partners in the Collective Ponto Paragrafo. The project was simple. The intervention would cost €0 and the money would be used to buy construction tools. Instead of using the money to make an ephemera intervention, (like every year) we decide to create a game. Every team (groups of 2 students) would acquire a construction tool.

D’Isére

At 36, Romain Charbonnel is based in Montseveroux in Isère. He joined the Cabestan activity and employment cooperative in 2014. His activity is twofold as he is both a mason specialising in adobe and a craftsman in hemp building insulation. Pisé is a method of building with raw earth. It is very widespread in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Previously, Romain obtained a DUT in physics and then a master’s degree in environment and sustainable development, which took him to Scotland. He then worked for 5 years as an employee in a Lyon-based air quality control company. In 2012, he decided to retrain: “I took a course in building energy performance and ecoconstruction. I didn’t really like the world of industry anymore and I wanted to give an ecological orientation to my job.”

Arte. Feda Wardak. L’atelier A.

An architect-constructor and independent researcher in residence at the Ateliers Médicis, Feda Wardak has been working since 2019 on En-dessous, la forêt, a project that consists of building a monumental wooden scenographic work in the middle of the Forêt Régionale de Bondy in Clichy-sous-Bois, which will become the support for a choreographic creation to be presented during the Summer of 2021.

En-dessous, la forêt is an installation that will take place in the Bondy forest in Clichy-sous-Bois / Montfermeil. Conceived as a work between the ground and the tree tops, it will host this summer a choreographic creation, a series of scientific meetings and will allow everyone to visit or live in it for a while.
