Eco-Friendly Pop-up Architecture
A course by Izaskun Chinchilla Moreno , Architect
Learn to design small scale installations from scratch by exploring the principles of circular economy
Pop-up installations are a unique opportunity to give viewers an immersive experience, which allows them to interact with the artwork of the architect or artist. Architect Izaskun Chinchilla takes the opportunity a step further by ensuring that the material used in her designs are recyclable or reusable. Izaskun bases her work on the principles of circular economy, which involves reusing existing materials as long as possible in order to reduce her carbon footprint.
In this course, discover Izaskun’s methodology for creating environmentally-friendly Pop-up installations from scratch. From creating the initial brief, planning the logistics and funding, to its final presentation in a portfolio, get a complete walkthrough of the design process. Learn to create an exhibition that both inspires its viewers and protects the environment.
