Designing for the Wild: Architecture for Rescue, Research, & Observation
Danny Katebini, Chris Beebe
Tuition $275
Code ZSK1403-25
Explore the intersection of architecture and the natural world in this hands-on workshop designed for creative teens. Each week, take on a new challenge, building foundational skills in design, drawing, and model-making while developing innovative concepts for real-world rescue and observation structures. This course will provide an introduction to the field of design led by accomplished local architects Daniel Katebini of CCY Architects and Chris Beebe, a specialist in sustainable design and historic preservation. Participants will begin by visiting and analyzing a local site, learning from the local ecology through sketching and photography to develop forms and concepts for their structures. Participants will learn how to translate those observations into functional designs that address specific needs, like wildlife rescue, star observation, or avalanche safety. Dive into research and master essential techniques for drawing, collaging, and hand-building under the guidance of professional architects and artists. Over four sessions, participants create concept models, refine plans and elevations, and bring vision to life. The workshop concludes with a formal presentation and critique, where you showcase your finished project and reflect on how your work has evolved. Discover how architecture can harmonize with nature and make an impact in the wild. Site Visit Class One: Apr 1, 2025 4:30pm - 6:30pm On our first day of the workshop students will be conducting a site visit.
