The 2016 Activities
In 2016, activities at the Kerkenes Eco-Center took place during the spring months
when groups of students came to Kerkenes for a Hands on Building program led by Matthieu Pedergnana.
Facilities include the village school now rehabilitated and called the Kerkenes Training Center.
In April the Eco-Center hosted METU students participating in Hands-on sessions
for the Architecture in situ course, Arch 325. Ongoing research and educational activities on environmental design to maximize energy efficiency,
appropriate building materials and techniques were funded from corporate sponsors.
During Hands-on sessions at the Kerkenes Eco-Center, METU students took part in building and research activities focusing on environmental design and energy efficiency.
Student were involved to plastering experimental strawbale wall (Figure 11) and also learnt to produce traditional mudbricks and pressed bricks to be used in the Eco-Center (Figs 10,12 and 16).
