CONFERENCES & WORKSHOPS
ECOWEEK International Conferences and 'green'
Design Workshops are both unique and affordable.
"I found about ECOWEEK through
Google search. What attracted me to ECOWEEK was that it offered an alternative
from other conferences.
"ECOWEEK was unforgettable!
I wish it would never end!
ECOWEEK conferences and workshops offer opportunities for team-work,
network, 'green' design, and real projects.
"My experiece at the workshop
was very good! I learned about working with other people!
"When I signed up I did not quite know what to
expect. I thought we would design a building just like in school. But the
workshop was different, we designed, we built it and then the community
came! It was a real surprise and quite amazing how it all came together!
"ECOWEEK brings together
people who want to go beyond restrictions!
"The experience in Copenhagen
was very interesting and I learned a lot from the lectures during all the
week and also from the others students. I 'love' this kind of interaction
between international people who have the same vision, but different ways
of achieving it.
ECOWEEK speakers are among the best worldwide: Al Gore, Shigeru
Ban, Kengo Kuma, Francis Kere, MVRDV, Bjarke
Ingels and more.
"We are very excited to work
on a real project. This is what makes the philosophy of ECOWEEK so interesting
and the students' work so rigorous.
Elena Barthel, Architect, RURAL STUDIO
(ECOWEEK 2012 in Rome)
"The word 'Sustainability'
has been used too much without even knowing its meaning. It is time to shift
from the green dream to the green reality, by encouraging creative and stimulating
solutions. In this sense, ECOWEEK offers a platform to exchange creative
ideas and knowledge about green architecture and urbanism.
ECOWEEK is more than a workshop; it is a motivating experience that weaves
the enthusiasms and fresh visions of students with the expertise and experience
of professionals to challenge architectural conventions and to engage with
the potential of green architecture and urbanism.
ECOWEEK is a green adventure, to open up our imaginations and allow us to
design great and gorgeous cities for people.
Marta Pozo, Architect, MVRDV
(ECOWEEK 2013 Middle East)
"After the workshop and the
lectures, I feel more ready to apply green building principles and solutions
to my work!
Join ECOWEEK
"One of the best programs for students!
