Experiment Land Stage

Experiment Land Stage aims to join students, architects, citizens, technicians, entrepreneurs, and politicians to create and test new solutions to use natural resources to build and design better objects and spaces for living, increasing the quality of life of Portuguese and Norwegian communities. The cooperation actions between partners Rintala Eggertsson Architects  from Norway and MAG – Marques de Aguiar Arquitectura e Urbanismo and Camilo Rebelo Associados from Portugal will spread the use of cork and wood, natural resources from each country, and will boost reaching sustainable solutions for the climate change challenges.

For one year this bilateral initiative will innovate through the approach of a collaborative model experimenting ideas, and through the expected results related with the technical solutions of cork and wood uses and design. The solutions tested are communicated through prototypes, developed during the workshops, and the method to engage and increase the network of participants will be disseminated in the Experiment Land Stage toolkit.
