Students oral exams on site
Motivated by the reality of Chile’s devastating earthquakes, Casa Fenix offers modular and flexible habitats which can be built by victims in emergency situations. Next 23, 24 and 25 of June, the students will trade their tools and safety equipment against a computer to take their oral exams with their head teacher, and validate their professional license at the very heart of La Cité du Soleil.
A «baguette» buzz
The Thai team offers an architecture that adapts itself to natural disasters. Although performing in their field of expertise, they also admire other projects. For most of them, this is the first time in France and in Versailles and are trying to make the most of it. « The French tradition is true to his reputation. During our walk through the streets of Versailles, we were all amazed of the number of people who eat the famous’baguette’ sandwicheswhile walking.»
Border issues
The Danish team DTU wishes to rehabilitate roofs of existing buildings in Copenhagen but the Embrace prototype has experienced some complications. A transportation problem has installed a scare on the site since the beginning of the week because trucks materials were stuck at the border between France and Germany. Anyway, they put the fondations neverthelses and the construction has begun on Thursday 19 at 6a.m. Finally they manage to catch up with the schedule and very confident.
