Workshops
ECOWEEK WORKSHOPS are an
integral component of the ECOWEEK International Conferences
and activity since 2008. Workshops for young architects and
students of Architecture have been taking place since 2009
in Greece, Cyprus and the Middle East (Israel and the West
Bank). The ECOWEEK 2010 design workshops
give the opportunity to young professionals and students of
Architecture, Design, Engineering and Landscape Architecture,
to work side by side with known or emerging architects, designers,
and engineers from the region and beyond, and to learn from
them the principles of ecological design.

ECOWEEK 2010 Workshop at IPCRI Conference
Workshop Theme: The 'green' IPCRI Center, Tantur,
Jerusalem
|
This ECOWEEK
Workshop has a very specific assignment and a very short duration
of only two days. The assignment is the design
of a mixed use Cultural and Community Center for Israeli
and Palestinian Peace organizations. The first
phase of design brainstorming and ideas for this project took
place at ECOWEEK 2010 in the Middle East in July 2010. This
is the second 'take' on the design brainstorming for this project.
The IPCRI project is a REAL PROJECT. The more ideas we generate
and the more attractive our building proposal is, the more chances
we have to see this building built. So, it is a very unique
opportunity for all who wish to participate.
The following workshop will take
place thanks the cooperation and hosting of IPCRI at the
IPCRI Conference and the workshop leaders for their invaluble
input to teach, train and inspire the younger generation of
professionals who participate in this ECOWEEK Workshop. |

>> W8: IPCRI TANTUR Workshop
ECOWEEK
is cooperating in this workshop with the Israel Palestine
Center for Research and Information (IPCRI).
This workshop will design a mixed use Cultural and Community
Center for Israeli and Palestinian Peace organizations.
The site is located inside the Tantur historic and religious
compound. The site is located opposite Beit Tzafafa in Jerusalem,
very close to the Greek Orthodox monastery of Mar Elias.
The project is an actual project that IPCRI is presently considering,
and includes the rehabilitation of an existing building -
or its demolition, and the construction of additional facilities.
The workshop will provide ideas and a preliminary design approach
for the actual building.
The workshop team will meet with IPCRI representatives at
the site (photo). It is very possible that through collaboration
among ECOWEEK partners for this project, students may have
the opportunity to also participate in the design development
and final design of the building to be constructed.

ECOWEEK
2010: Green Buildings + Community + Sustainability
The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2010
dealt for the first time with real project, on real sites,
for real clients, including the Shorouq Palestinian Women
Society Center at Al-Izaryia (Bethany), the Ethiopian Community
Center at Kiryat Gat, the IPCRI Peace Israeli and Palestinian
Center in Jerusalem, the 'greening' of the KK"L main street
in the Old City of Beersheva, and others. Each assignment was
unique ranging from a small building to urban planning and
urban design interventions (for the 2nd Bat Yam Biennale).

The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2010
was hosted for the first time by architects in their own offices
and by two workshop groups organized by the Greek Ministry of
Environment. The assignment was to design a passive solar

of Athens (Thisseio and Keramikos) and one in a seaside location
(Loutsa). More

ECOWEEK
2009: Ecology + Leadership + Architecture Workshop
The interdisciplinary design workshops of ECOWEEK 2009
dealt with the site of the former international airport of Athens
in Hellenikon. The groups did not attempt to repeat the international
competition on the site; neither give tips to improve the official
plans for the site; neither attempted to impose architectural
symbols and schemes from abroad. The workshops rather attempted
to re-approach this important site for Athens and the residents
of the Metropolitan city, based on ecology, locality, community
and sustainability. More
