Environmental Science Lab Pavilion. An International Design-build Project, Ibarra, Ecuador, 2022

Abstract

This collaborative project involves students and faculty from five academic institutions across three countries, collaborating with an Ecuadorian community on the design and construction of an educational space geared towards sustainability. The precise and almost choreographic design of the different stages and actors of the project aims not just to provide essential infrastructure to the community but also to learn from their traditional building techniques.
