The Workshop
Our aim for this workshop is to create a simple, free-standing roof for a given context in Boisbuchet's beautiful environment - a new outdoor dining place in between the Domaine’s old barn and stables.
The challenges for this roof structure are manifold: it should protect a hundred sitting people from rain or sun, respect the historic site, withstand the strong Atlantic winds, respond to a restricted budget, and yet pay tribute to Boisbuchet’s design excellence.
This practical 1:1 real-case scenario exposes participants to the whole complexity of an architectural project: aesthetic, technical, economic, and environmental questions as well as the concerns of our client - the Domaine de Boisbuchet.
The workshop is organized jointly by Go Hasegawa as architect and Hirofumi Onho as structural engineer.
