The use of M = 1:1 full-size building workshops
is an important educational tool at the Faculty of
Architecture and Fine Art, NTNU in Trondheim.
By developing their own architectural design in
detail, the students achieve increased insight into
the development of architectural concepts and into
the inherent properties of materials, structures,
workmanship, fabrication, collaboration and
communication. Such skills are important for
architects who want to create innovative wooden
architecture.
This booklet documents such a process. During
the spring of 2014, in cooperation with the local
authorities, the 4th and 5th year architect-students
developed a stargazing structure at a site in the
community centre of Rindal.
