SOLAR LABORATORY
UPLUGGING THE DOMESTIC
UPLUGGING THE DOMESTIC
The workshop will take place in Vilnius (Lithuania) at SODAS 2123 (Vitebsko st. 21).
Both indoor workshops as well as adjacent outdoor areas will allow the participants to spread out their ideas in experimental setups.
PROGRAM
Over the course of one week, concepts are developed, experiments are conducted, discussions are held and prototypes are built. The result of the the workshop will be exhibited and demonstrated in an public open air laboratory at the last day of the program.
Starting on Tuesday morning, the workshop will offer an intense and diverse 5 day program ending Saturday evening. There will be 1 day of introduction and collective brainstorming, 3 days of experimenting, testing and building and 1 day for the setup of the final laboratory and exhibition.
A series of lectures from diverse field, discussions and communal meals are part of the program and provide input for the project as well as opportunities for informal exchange
DATES 2024
Application window: Until Friday, 31. May
Announcement: Monday, 03. June
Solar Laboratory: Tuesday, 09. July - Saturday, 13. July
Since the workshop will engage with direct sun rays the warmest and driest month of the year was chosen for the program. Having no sun is a possible scenario and should not be perceived as a restriction, rather as the beauty of working with the environment.
PARTICIPANTS
There are 15 spots available. The workshop is designed for students of all creative disciplines roughly between the second year of the bachelor (undergrad) and before the diploma or thesis project of the master degree (graduate).
APPLICATION
Apply for the Solar Laboratory at mail@inter.international with your CV and a short motivation (around 300 words) why you would like to engage in the topic of solar devices.
FEES
There won't be any fees for the laboratory. Accommodation and meals are the responsibility of the participants. A final solar feast will be organised. Structural materials as well as special mirroring surfaces will be provided amongst regular tools.
WORKSHOP TEAM
The workshop is lead by an international collaboration between the Zurich based architecture collective inter-, the non profit organisation Architektūros fondas as well as the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
As a team we will provide teaching experience, knowledge about material and the solar system and climate consciousness. Our experience from previous solar projects will be a strong foundation and guideline of the workshop. We will be on site and reachable throughout the duration of the workshop and will guide the iterative and instinctive design methodology in close cooperation with the participants.
