7 day brigade (Honduras)
10-day Architecture Brigades available on request
View the “
Architecture Brigades Student Involvement” document to learn about students’ roles during a Architecture Brigade.
Architecture Brigades concentrates on the design and construction of structures and spaces that augment the efforts of other Global Brigades disciplines in Honduras. Instead of taking on a variety of small-scale buildings (individual houses, storage spaces, cabins, etc.) GAB focuses on large projects (schools, health centers, meeting spaces, recreation areas, community housing solutions) that benefit entire communities. Focusing several University clubs on each project of this type allows GAB to maximize mental design input, project funding, and construction man-power, maximizing the potential for success of each project.
For Designers (or anyone who wants to design)
Competition
Architecture Brigades clubs interested in constructing projects of their own creation participate in brief stateside competitions, during which they develop designs for the structure and submit them to Architecture Brigades for review. The winning entry or entries will be decided upon by Architecture Brigades and the participating community. If several designs are selected, the universities responsible for those designs will work in collaboration with Architecture Brigades to synthesize their ideas into a single design.
Construction
Several months after the competition, each club that participated will participate in brigades to build their structure. During their four days in the community, students will learn about the necessity of the project, the justifications for selecting the winning design, and a variety of local construction techniques. Further, depending on what point during the construction process they make their brigade, students have the opportunity to participate in a variety of construction processes, from foundation work to wood framing to detailing, the how-to’s of which will be learned on site.
For Non-Designers
Construction
Architecture Brigades is not limited to individuals with design backgrounds or universities with architecture programs. If a club wishes to participate in a brigade without entering a design competition, they may do just that, and can choose from any of the projects under construction at that time. This not only includes the competition projects, but also structures that are being designed only by GAB and participating communities. The structure of these brigade mirrors a construction brigade for design students, although a bit more time may be spent explaining design and construction strategies, as the project will most likely be completely new to all brigaders.
