Architectural Design With Cane

The workshop focuses on experiencing the different phases of the design and construction of an architectural element. Students discover all the processes related to preparing the cane, leading to a material they can work with. They also learn different types of techniques for working with cane, its use in the past, and how it can be introduced into contemporary architecture.

Its members work on the dissemination and development of construction with cane. From the desire to recover vernacular architecture and the craft of the cane maker to innovation with new designs and structures for different spaces
