We are starting the design Studio “Embracing Imperfection” at the RAvB with two “hands-on” workshops.

“Embracing Imperfection” is a design studio dedicated to experimenting with locally sourced natural materials. The research and design focus on fostering a regional materials economy, promoting a wholesome building culture, and exploring new architectural expressions that align with these principles.
