THE STOOL - Course
September 2024 to January 2025
Course Théorie et Pratique de la Construction 1
Led by Irma Cilacian Gandolfi, architecte EPFL SIA
Fall semester 2024
In the course Theory and Practice of Construction 1, students follow a process that spans from reflection to use by designing and creating an everyday object: the stool.
This workshop allows them to explore the functions, forms, and materials of this universal object. By working within a defined volume of 33x33x44 cm, students learn to adapt construction techniques to spatial constraints, chosen materials, and intended uses.
The project aims to develop practical construction skills while exploring the connections between theory, design, realization, and appropriation.
