Ecoconstruction Workshop
![](https://bab-zouina.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Konga-Palakiyem.png)
The Yoga_Architecture eco-construction workshop is an 8-day internship, from 06 to 13 July 2024, of initiation and reinforcement of skills in the field of construction based on local materials through the construction of a covered pavilion of 3m on 3m, from foundation to finish.
The workshop is designed for architects who want to deepen their knowledge in eco-construction, which is in great demand today; architecture students who are looking for a way to put accumulated theories into practice and discover the ecological processes of designing and building, people who want to build their own houses.
The workshop was developed around 4 main components:
– Practical aspect: 70% of the activities of the internship consist of workshops to implement ten eco-construction techniques: lime foundations, capillary anti rising basement, adobe, rammed earth, BTC, traditional earthen roof, lime mortar dressing, tadellakt, earth coating, natural paint.
– Theoretical component: to complete the practice, lectures will be given by architects, engineers and eco-builders on themes such as: architectural bio-design, seismic sizing of buildings in local materials, programming, budgeting and management of an eco-construction project.
– Discovery component: Many people denigrate local materials wrongly. Participants will visit architectural sites very rich in terms of materials and construction techniques and the holistic design of places. They will also visit a Moroccan eco-village that was created locally with a unique operating system that differs from the Western system widely taught in architecture schools.
– Wellness:
- The setting of the workshop was carefully chosen to ensure comfort and serenity. Built entirely with natural materials, Bab Zouina is a yoga center designed to promote connection to nature and self and allows experiencing the comfort offered by buildings made of local materials. It also has a massage area, a traditional hammam, and a natural swimming pool.
- Yoga: Iyengar yoga sessions will be provided in the morning to awaken body and mind.
- Pottery: handling the earth is an activity of relaxation and eliminate stress. A pottery workshop will be led by a local master potter.
- Other: many other fun and meditation activities will be led by participants
