This construction workshop, designed for young people aged 9 to 15, aims to introduce participants to careers in architecture, design, and craftsmanship through the creation of a mobile kitchen module. It will provide an opportunity to become familiar with the tools of the architect (drawing, modeling, etc.) and to understand the various stages of a project from conception to completion. Additionally, it will address contemporary themes related to the production of our built environment such as resource scarcity, circular economy, and reuse.

The workshop will be led by the DKollektiv team and will take place at VEWA in Dudelange. It will begin with a tour of the premises to introduce participants to industrial heritage and showcase an exemplary project in terms of self-construction and material reuse. The workshop will culminate in the creation of mobile kitchen modules to be used by DKollektiv, the VEWA community, or luca for events and workshops, notably during LUGA in 2025.

This construction workshop is part of the “Architektur SUMMER” workshop series developed as part of the educational program of luca – Luxembourg Center for Architecture, in collaboration with DKollektiv, and with the support of the Sommer Foundation.
