What is the Builder Method?

The Builder Method is a European project of wooden microarchitecture which aims to democratize the use of wood in architecture and to promote learning by doing.

Architects, planners, engineers from Hungary, Poland, Romania and France have been working together for 3 years to create a common reference system for teaching wood architecture.

Builder Method aims to create not only a wooden work, but also a community of actors and each person involved personally.

A series of workshops and meetings

After a series of workshops in Romania, Hungary, France at ESB, and two transnational meetings in Poland and Hungary, and hours of videoconferences, the partners have been able to build 3 deliverables: a database listing wood microarchitecture projects around the world, an installation manual and a repository for organizing a wood microarchitecture workshop which will be presented at this event on April 5 and 6.
