Just as schools teach students about the inside of the human body or how the oceans are formed, there's no reason why students shouldn't know how to read a house plan and its solar orientation. Or even how it's built and what materials can be used. Partly following this philosophy, schools like the Escola Rius i Taulet, located in Barcelona's Gràcia neighborhood and part of the Magnet project, have decided to focus on architecture as a cross-cutting theme in their teaching. One of the first projects carried out in this program, which is expected to last four years, is a construction workshop using inexpensive materials such as bamboo, recycled wood, and cardboard. The goal? To make students aware of the importance of materials and respect for the environment, actively participating in the handling and creation of their buildings.
