SSH hosts will delve into practical applications that integrate and mimic natural mechanisms into futuristic and eye-catching building designs. Participants can enjoy presentations led by SSH architects and hands-on exercises with clay models.

Organic form in design examines how architects draw inspiration from nature to create real-world buildings featuring organic forms or processes. This workshop will explain and give examples of purely aesthetic projects, as well as delve into practical applications that integrate and mimic natural mechanisms into futuristic and eye-catching building designs, such as passive cooling. Participants can enjoy a mix of presentations led by SSH architects, followed by a hands-on exercise involving clay models which they can keep afterwards.

The workshop is targeted towards school leavers, young architects and university students.
