WORKSHOP WITH DAGUR EGGERTSON

September 10 to 14 , Automatic Mills, Pardubice

We warmly invite architecture and art students to a creative workshop led by Icelandic architect Dagur Eggertsson from the renowned studio Rintala Eggertsson Architects. Over the course of five days, we will design and build a sauna on the grounds of the Automatic Mills in Pardubice. The workshop will offer a unique opportunity to get involved in the entire process—from conceptual design to actual construction—and to try out teamwork and a creative approach to public space and sustainable architecture. The result will be a functional building that will be presented to the public at a vernissage on Sunday, September 14.

The workshop begins on Wednesday, September 10, at 12 noon with an introductory meeting and presentation of the assignment. We look forward to seeing everyone who is not afraid to pick up a pencil and a hammer.

The price of the workshop is CZK 2,000. Accommodation and everything necessary for work will be provided.
Start: Wednesday, September 10, at 12:00 p.m.
Opening: Sunday, September 14, at 2:00 p.m.
