Join us for a summer workshop on earth building! We will construct a rammed earth pavilion and explore ways to use natural materials in architecture. Special attention will be given to hemp as a building material. No prior knowledge is required! The workshop will take place at the Center for Earth Building in Dobrava pri Škocjanu 23.

Republic Square in Ljubljana holds immense historical and symbolic significance for Slovenia. It is located in the historic center of the city and features a blend of buildings with different designs, scales, and dimensions, together with interconnected open spaces, passages, and underpasses. These elements form a multifunctional complex whose construction lasted more than 20 years and underwent several volumetric and programmatic reconfigurations. Visible from a distance and standing out above the Ursuline Church’s bell tower, two prominent office towers rise as part of this work designed by Edvard Ravnikar, the most prominent Slovenian architect of the second half of the 20th century.

Want to learn how to build and design with one of the most sustainable building materials? Join us at a weekend workshop in Center for building with earth!
