This third edition of the joint pedagogical program in the framework of two-week long Exchange Schools – a Summer School 2024 in South Korea and Winter School 2025 in Switzerland, will consist of lectures, workshops, studios and prototypingexperiences. The essential part of each Exchange School is the visit of case study buildings by students and the analysis ofthe building design, operation, indoor comfort, occupant’s satisfaction, and behaviour by different student groups. The maintask of the student groups is closely associated with on-site measurement sessions, performance assessments andinterviews over selected case studies.
This ARC-HEST edition focuses on “Pojangmacha” (포장마차 in Korean, meaning ‘movable market stand / woodenwagon’) that are frequently installed in streets in Korean cities. Based on their findings over this particular type of “tinybuildings”, the groups will develop “revisited Pojangmacha” with a special attention put to the environmentalperformances and occupants satisfaction for human-building interactions during the Summer Workshop in 12 – 23 August, 2024. During the Winter Workshop in 3 – 16 February, 2025, the participants will have the opportunity to buildand test prototypes of their shelters projects at the smartlivinglab, Fribourg.
