The workshop will investigate how structural understanding can be enhanced through empirical and embodied experience.
By taking inspiration from historical human-built formations, such as the Castellers of Catalonia, and engineering solutions like the human-like tilted pillars of Pier Luigi Nervi at the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, this workshop will immerse participants in the creation of lightweight structures, in which students are going to be proper components.
The main goal of the workshop is to fill the gap between abstract theoretical knowledge and tangible spatial understanding, offering a dynamic and participatory way to explore structural principles.
