The Summer School is taking place in the Marvão area, in the Alto Alentejo Portuguese region, in July 16th – 29th. The application and registration proccess is already open.
Local traditional urbanism, architecture and building details will be studied in order to create a preservation and new traditional building manual for the area and, based on it, to design upgrade proposals for different public places of the town. Participants will have the chance to share ideas and work together with faculty and students from many nationalities in order to develop those proposals. Experts in local vernacular architecture and building techniques will be lecturing on diverse related topics. There will be trips around this region and some workshops and building sites will be visited too.
The registration fee is 320 euros. This fee includes tuition, accommodation, meals and transportation during the two weeks of the Summer School (departure from Madrid or Lisbon also). Those interested in participating must send an email before April 21st to: premiorafaelmanzano@gmail.com. We are developing a selection process among all candidates and several places will be reserved for the students of the participating universities.
