Well, the good news is that if design, architecture or ecology is your thing, you now can get involved and help to put your stamp on the Caravanserai thanks to its’ #Flitchedinitiative.
The project which launched just last week has an open call out for architects, designers and ecologists to work alongside structural engineers and to design a structure for the Caravanserai site using materials and components from their inventory of construction waste.
The structure itself, once built will be in essence a ‘workshop garden’ - an open plan workshop where it is hoped a whole host of making and horticultural activities will take place.
Submitted designs will all be evaluated and assessed on a range of criteria including how well makers’ needs have been considered in the space and what techniques have been used to integrate the natural environment with man made technology.
