Programme Background

The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment (PFBE) annually holds a three week summer school programme focused on principles of sustainable architecture and urbanism. Beginning on 19 July 2010, this year's programme is based in London and Wales.
 Today begins the third week of the summer school with a team design competition combining the drawing, structural, architectural skills learned in the first week with the hands-on workshops the second week. The participants come from a variety of architecture, planning and craft skills backgrounds from all around the world.

5 Stone Masons/Bricklayers

1 Blacksmith

2 Roofer/Slater/Tiler

1 Joiner

3 Carpenters

This blog will be a combination of the design process, drawings, and each of the participants thoughts.
