About the Workshop

10:00 am to 6:00 pm from 29 August to 2 September, 2016

‘Towers of Carton (No Glue, No Tape, No Staples)’ is a building competition that takes place annually in the School of Architecture of Paris-La Villette (ENSAPLV). The exercise has been developed by sculptor Marco Dessardo and architect/engineer Yves Rouby, who have managed to expand architecture students’ thinking capacities by challenging them to reinforce modest carton through smart design, attaining unexpected heights to climb on Testing Day. This event is based on a unique mixture of design, building, celebration and sports! The last day is the Climbing Musical Day, open to the public at Al Muntazah Circle in Jabal Al Weibdeh.
