DESCRIPTION:ENAC Summer Workshops 2025\nA Prototype Pavilion in Textile Re
 inforced Concrete\nAugust 25 - September 5\, 2025\, Fribourg\n\nThe Summer
  Workshop will explore the structural\, architectonic\, environmental and 
 social dimensions of TRC and its application\, especially in the context o
 f social housing in Latin America as a socially and environmentally susta
 inable “lightweight” material.\n\nBuilding upon the TRC Prototype Pavi
 lion initiated in 2019 at EPFL Fribourg and prior research from the Brazil
 ian architect Lelé in Argamassa Armada (ferrocement)\, our upcoming summe
 r workshop aims to craft 1:1 TRC elements for Social Houses in Nicaragua. 
 The teaching team has fostered a collaborative partnership with Grupo Sofo
 nias\, an organization dedicated to community development in the rural reg
 ion of Jinotepe\, Nicaragua.\n\nWe will also explore the application of LC
 3 cement for TRC\, a sustainable binder developed at EPFL for implementati
 on in Latin America. This experimentation\, made possible through collabor
 ation with the LMC lab at EPFL\, represents a significant advance towards 
 sustainable construction practices.\n\nOur working method is a reiterative
  process of developing through testing at EPFL Fribourg. Architecture\, e
 nvironmental engineering\, and civil engineering students will develop a
  concept of social housing design and build structural elements in textil
 e reinforced concrete\, fabricate formwork in folded metal\, prepare the 
 textile reinforcement\, mix and cast concrete and conceive and test the m
 aterials\, structural elements and the assembly and behavior of the TRC e
 lements. \n \n\n© 2022 EPFL\n\n\n \nProject Team 2025\nPatricia Guaita
