2010 ROOTS Architecture building workshop

The workshop was inspired by Oliver Lowenstein from Fourth Door. He was interested in the ‘overlap, in spirit at least, between the emerging grassroots architecture network driving community projects around the world and the relatively new passions for the many branches of the world music tree.’ (Oliver Lowenstein).  There is very little opportunity for small bands or musicians to play at WOMAD, so the workshop brief was for four teams of architects and materials specialists to design and build a stage each to host a number of acts on Sunday night in an open mike style.
