ARCHITECTURE SUMMERSCHOOL 2011
PAO ARCHITECTURE SUMMERSCHOOL 2011
Going by the title UNDER ONE ROOF: A THOUSAND IDEAS finally the concept and programme for our 2011 PAO Summerschool got decided. The workshop will happen - as in the previous years - in the Romanian mountain village of Potoc, near Timisoara city. General idea is to work on the old school building in Potoc, and to set-up a kind of Micro-Bauhaus in this rural setting. The large old school building of Potoc provides a perfect location for a variety of projects on all scales: from artistic work (sculpting, drawing, crafting) to architectural construction (house-in-house).
TIME The workshop will happen in the last two weeks of August and beginning of September, exactly: August 22nd through September 4th. Before the workshop start, a weekend programme in the nearby city of Timisoara is prepared.
REGISTRATION Deadline for registration and payment (see below) will be July 31st. The number of participants is limited to ~20. The first 20 people who register, will be enrolled.
FEES Participation fees will be 150 € for students, and 250 € for professionals, covering the full course of two weeks. The fees include food, field trips, and accomodation (students: tents; professionals: dormitory,or guest house).
CRITERIA There are no specific criteria for participation. Yet, participants shall have high personal motivation, a natural creative drive & some kind of positive craziness. Before all, the ability to be productive in an international teams is essential. As PAO is a genuine "hands-on" workshop, a certain physical robustness is necessary too.
ARRIVAL Meeting place will be Timisoara city on the 21st of August. From Timisoara a pickup trip is organised to Potoc village. If you arrive by airplane, the nearest airport is Timisoara/ Romania, however Belgrade/ Serbia is quite close too (2h Bus to Timisoara). Flying to Budapest / Hungary is also possible (4 hours trainride to Timisoara).
