Design + Build Workshop Italy

This May, Building Trust International will host a Design + Build Workshop in Italy in partnership with Semplicemente, an Italian volunteer organization formed by people with disabilities who promote inclusion, autonomy and respect for the environment through collective and creative activities. 

Semplicemente has launched the project “Voglio una Casa” (I Want a Home) and is collaborating with Building Trust International to research and develop a sustainable, environmentally and economically accessible housing solution.

The workshop will focus on the design and construction of a small, replicable residential prototype, built using sustainable materials and participatory processes. For two weeks, volunteers from around the world will work side by side with local professionals and people with disabilities in a deeply inclusive, community-based experience.

• Offer non-profit, affordable housing solutions for people with disabilities
• Develop a sustainable, low-cost, replicable bio-architecture model
• Support independent living through active participation in space management
• Regenerate abandoned public green areas and return them to the community

Please note spaces are limited, so hopeful participants should get in touch today to receive their application form and register for this exciting workshop.
